 Surf Spot Characteristics

 Additional Information

This is a very powerful wave and please don't surf it alone when it´s more than 2 meters. In the big days it gets huge and still, perfect. I've seen it breaking 5 meters (15 feet) perfect - but no one is in the water in that days. I advise morning sessions (offshore generally), with the sun behind you. Park your car in front of the beach and keep an eye on your stuff (Thieves).

Atmosphere

Once you get in the water (big days) your heart will be pumping out, but after you get the first wave the excitement will take over you. The lip is large so if you're a surfer don't take it easy or your board will look like a glass when a hammer fells in to it. There are few crowd here but when it's very good it gets about 10-20 people. The big swell offers an atmosphere of pure peace and respect for nature!

General

You will never forget it ! The power of the wave was demonstrated in the 2002 winter when the europeen championship was there. The waves were big that day (3-4 meters) and the bodyboarders got insane with the action. Capdeville busted about 5 barrels that took the public to heaven. World class spot, that's for sure!
