local rookie comment
I only whent there once, in December if I'm not mistaken, and the waves were a bit scary (for me). Great loooong right - a bit too much water mass for what I can deal with so I had to wait for the lil ones to come but it was really fun plus the water was still at 19ºC. I dunno about the locals (I sord of am one), I didn't see a soul except for some tourist couples who came to a nice lil bar over the beach. So yeah it's a bit dead in the winter. ;)

migth work... i guess!
I've been there for 15 days in the mid august, eard about the most wonderfull waves and so... but i got nothing better than a few inches of wave... If it had any sweel, it seems that it might work, because there is a flat rocky triangle on one end, that would provide great wave formation...By the other hand, it is one of the most beautifull places i've ever been on, the people are sweet and the drinks keep pouring everywere... in august! I guess that the rest of the year it's kind of a boring place to be! I also got a water temperature of 28º... hot!!!!
