Additional Surfing Infos |
| | The best place to start paddling is behind the rock. The water current will help you to arrive in the break line. If you don´t wanna paddle, you can go up the rock, walk to the left then jump inside the water and it isn´t dangerous. Good waves. There are a lot of places to park your car.
