Hello someone,Can you perhaps tell me when is the best month of the year to go there and find good waves? September to December is normally good in that area of the atlantic but, can somebody tell me more precisely? Thank you!

be on your toes
spent 8 months working for la santa sport, danish company. i watched el quemao as it unfolded through the winter. I loved this spot, it really is a training ground for knarly waves like choops and pipe. beware of rips that dragg u off the reef towards the harbour, try and sit deep otherwise the take-off is quite hard to make.when caught on the inside, never try to paddle out straight , go with the rip towards the harbour and paddle round.ideal boards: 6-6 to 7-2 round tail. just remember once making the take off, the second section gets ugly, dry lava reef with a combination of urchins. the barrels get too heavy to handle. watch out for bombs- be warned when 6-8 with an increasing swell, there can be 10" bombs coming through.Locals are knarly and wont take to anyone kindly, doesnt matter if you are a cook or u rip.
