Verashort is very good - Fellas, Im a local, I have 15yrs surfing in Verashore, Altamira, and Escolleras, all are good (when are on), but the best for sure is (Veracruz), we call it Vera-shore instead, congratulations for your description of the place, is incredible acurate, I am surprised, is missing one point close to tampico, I will pick up info. and pics. and I will submit, Gulf Coast in Tampico MX, is very fun for surf when is on, from Oct to May, depends on the weather...regards
