Additional Information
This spot rarley breaks because it needs a strong westerly swell, but when it does you can get a long solid right hand break of the point.
Though try and grab it early, other wise it can get crowded like flys on shit.
Atmosphere
Its a good wave considering the natural surrounding the veiws to North Africa, though it rarley breaks it can be a good fun long wave then off for a beer and tapas in Tarifa when done.

no locals - It is completely false that locals are a problem here. The real problem is that the spot doesnt run frecuently, only 10 or 15 days yearly. Only with big grounswell, soft offshore, this spot shows its real potencial.

Tarifa is great for windsurfers but........ - Yes there are waves here but you need to be ready for howling onshores too.
