Why? - To those posting pictures and talking this spot up, all I can say is why? You enjoyed the waves and the solitude, don't you want it to be the same way when you go back? Stop the madness, out of the way spots should be left to surfers willing to explore.

August 07 - We went to Osti after a day or two in Guiones. Was along stronger in Osti than Guiones. Fun wave, good rides. We got there around 8am and by 11 the wind was all over it. Worth the check.
Make sure you have a 4X4, you will cross a creek or two and a river coming from Guiones. Depends on the rainy season, but we didnt get any deeper than a foot or so above the doors on the raised F250.
