Additional Information
This is a pretty isolated area so always surf with someone.
Atmosphere
This is one of the most consistent surfspot in Zambales. Due to massive lahar from the volcano Mt. Pinatubo that flowed heavily to the sea through Macolcol River the bottom of the surf formed a sandy-lahar break. Very unique in the Philippines.
General
A very good alternative surfspot that is very accessible from Manila.
