Additional Information

The best wave in western sahara. One of the longest, most consistent and uncrowded waves I have ever surfed. Been here several times for work and never another surfer in sight. Im coming back asap.

Atmosphere

Awsome. There is another righthand reef break further north. I think it picks up more swell and is more powerful and hollow.

General

I dont mind telling where it is cause itll never get crowded. Plus the point is so long that even if there was a crowd you could still get plenty of waves. Dont drive at night. There is a small coastal road at the town. Bring supplies with you.
