- Rocks
this is a nice spot couse it's not cowded, is not as good as punta roca or zonte but can get really good sometimes, its almost like a secret spot.
Atmosphere
no localism on this spot, there is a restaurant just in front with good food after your session,its a short wave but can get big, hollow and fast sometimes, and the break is close from the shore so you dont need to paddle alot just one wave after the other.
