Additional Information

Everyday trade swell keeps it headhigh to overhead every day at least. Winds kick up a surface chop by afternoon but the inside is in a bay that stays nice and clean. There is only once company that has a license to do surf charter around Santa Cruz so you will never surf with anyone but your travel companions.

Atmosphere

Its the Galapagos. You need to be told nothing more to explain the area.

General

This spot was great, thick, fast, hollow in areas, swell was thumpy even on the smallest day (headhigh).
