Great Surf! - It's a very finiky spot but have scored awesome barrels there almost every trip to the area. Just got back during the Holidays and caught the North side of the river going off, 6-8' spitting barrels, closing out alittle but bad, you could still find good ones. South side better during the summer months. South side people are very nice, I have friends there. The North side alittle sketchy, but for the 30 years I've been visiting this place I've no proplems. This past trip alot of MARINA activity but they were cool to us. Alot of tension in the whole are due to the new president cleaning house of all the drug cartell.

great spot - I would say all info on this place is more or less accurate. I know nothing, however mind your business and respect the locals anywhere in the world, you'll be fine. This spot is really good. Some a frames and right handers that will blow your mind. Best in the morning. That goes for most of mainland. I rate it one of my favorites. I wish I had photos of this place. Look it up on the map you'll figure out which swells hit it. Enjoy.
