This spot rarley breaks because it needs a strong westerly swell, but when it does you can get a long solid right hand break of the point.
Though try and grab it early, other wise it can get crowded like flys on shit.
Overview
Atmosphere
Its a good wave considering the natural surrounding the veiws to North Africa, though it rarley breaks it can be a good fun long wave then off for a beer and tapas in Tarifa when done.

no locals
It is completely false that locals are a problem here. The real problem is that the spot doesnt run frecuently, only 10 or 15 days yearly. Only with big grounswell, soft offshore, this spot shows its real potencial.
