Jaime Murcia adds :
When the swell rises the necessary tide surf conditions can be world class or even epical. The wave is long, powerful, with several barrel-sections. Two hawaiians who surfed the spot in his summun conditions were astonished by the secret of the mediterranean sea! You will need to have good arms in order to reach the bowl. If you surf for first time ask advice to the locals for the way of leaving the spot. If you miss the zone for leaving it, you´ll be in really big trouble : rocks will be waiting you and you won´t be the first one to pass on there.
