Additional Information

A fast hollow break that works best on mid incoming. Powerful. Not a spot for beginners. Once over HH+ advanced only. Very strong currents. A lot of rips. If you see a few guys out, don't paddle right onto the peak with your bros..... find another peak.... there is over 5 miles along Hermosa that breaks the same.

Atmosphere

Please don't leave anything in your car.... especially if it is a rental. If you turn your back for a minute your stuff will be GONE. This applies to anywhere in Costa and especially remote areas like S Playa Hermosa... Tree, Corners, Tulin.

General

A great spot. A small river flows in here and keeps some good sand built up. Watch for Crocs. This is where the attack happened in September 2008.
