Additional Surfing Infos
 there is a parking near the beach from where you must paddle to the spot
  Overview
  Atmosphere itīs magic. when itīs perfect you can surf waves longer than 1km whith several tube sections.
it breaks well only a few days per year so eberybody is very nervous in the wather.
  General itīs the longer wave I have ever surfed and I think itīs one of the longer waves of the world.

Size
I donīt know if the people who left messages here have surfed this Spot.
This wave never will be bigger than 2 meters or something more (6-8 feet). There are no locals. Locals canīt exist in a wave that breaks 15 days a year (30 in a good year like someone else had said).

But you need a swell around this size to up to begin breaking.With a smaller swell it doesnīt break

The longest wave in Europe when it is on. It only breaks 30 times a year (in a good year), only in deep winter: December to March. It needs huge swell and extreme low tides. the locals are stupid but it does not matter, you have to fight with the currents not with them.
