Atmosphere
General
"a rock reef on the north side which is best with a north swell at incoming high tide. Not very consistent and gets very crowded "

Next - Pretty beach but funky waves. Good place to get drunk and bodysurf. Why would you try to surf this place when Guiones is right around the corner? Reform right on the inside at high tide, out side reef thats a steep takeoff to a flat shoulder. Good luck its not gonna be good when you see it. A person who lives on it might have some decent days to tell about.
