Additional Information
the best time to surf this spot is with medium tide, not to full and not to low. This is a wave more suitable for bodyboard, but with the high tide it will be good to longboard and surf too
Atmosphere
General
When it is working, you can catch some fantastic waves, it holds all the big swells, you just need to pay atention to the current
