Additional Surfing Infos |
| | This break works best at high tide, with the tree and Tulin better at lower tides. You can surf on any of the peaks in front of the buildings - a neat place with very easy access. Gets hard when the swell builds. However, when the swell is big - try the local reefs and points instead!

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
The better breaks in the area can get crowded, but there are numerous peaks along the beach, so you can find uncrowded surf. (See also "The Tree" and "Tulin") |
| |
General |
Super fun spot! I was up there for 10 days and got 10 days of perfect surf. Get out early though, it tended to chop out at about noon. |
