Additional Surfing Infos |
| | Two distinct peaks, inside (southern) peak is preferred, longer and cleaner rides. On big NW it can all line up. Low tide can offer ledgy barrells on all swells. Higher tide the wave turns into a performance wall.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
Cool little town...though has become very crowded with hippies and travelers in recent years. A real scene on weekends when locals from all over the country converge on the point. The town to the south has fewer gringos and some good food. |
| |
General |
The town is cheap, I mean very cheap, Lots of hippies (woodstock kind of hippies) all night long bars live music (doors-zeppelin-floyd-etc.)
Lots of foreign people, but 90% of people speak only Spanish. ie you can hang out with the gringos if you wish and think everyone speaks English, or learn some Spanish and actually meet people! There is a good Spanish school in town that is very surfer friendly. |
