You follow the road and 100 - 200m far, you will see on the rifht a very tiny port with a jetty and a small beach. Here you are. |

Additional Surfing Infos |
| | NEVER miss a bottom or you will say "hello" to the rocks in front of you. It is the only danger ( with silly localism ).

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
The wave starts to break near the end of the jetty and breaks in right until the sand of the beach. This spot is really good, easy to take-off, regular rights and tubing with size over 1m30. The classic wave is : take off, power bottom then tube or a huge snap, then another snap or cutback, and finally back to the line up. However, the locals surfers are big fat bastards crushing the bodyboards ( at your own risks ) and swearing against those who are unknown to them, even if you surf well and nobody is in the water, in spite of their level is really poor. So be ready to fight in the water and take care to your tires. |

General |
It is disapointing that local people of this spot are so stupid, because the wave is pretty funny and powerful when it works. If you have any questions or comments about this, mail me. |
