Atmosphere
Few locals, very quiet, be careful with the kids which are taking a bath with no boards. Have fun and enjoy a latin surf spot.

There are no locals in Jose Ignacio except the ones from punta del este, respect and you will have no problem. A good advice is not to come in groups of more than two people.

General
It is a good, regular wave to practice radical and modern tricks such as aerials...

The spot is a good break in Uruguay, especially in the days where Pamperos make it impossible to surf in better breaks.
