Additional Surfing Infos
 Easy paddle out when small, gets hairy when big. A happy alternative is to go in off the jetty (big jump) and paddle accross. A hollow wave, starts on sand bottom by the rocks and pulls hollow over some un-seen rocks.
  Overview
  Atmosphere Easy going most of the time, but as it has a small take off zone, when it gets good it gets crowded, especially in summer when the town is a tourist destination. The locals rip, but are generally friendly if you show respect
  General Really neat place, with a great wave. Also you can surf around the pier as this holds waves and on the beach breaks stretching north from the village. Great seafood.

Altos y bajos (3 sessions)
Algunas olas estaban bien, pero había que remar mucho para estar en el point correcto, algo cansador. No fue la mejor session de mi vida, pero normal.

Increibles las rachas, venían unos olones demasiado muntantes. 3 holas que valieron todo el trip (excepto por la cámara)

GOOD AND BAD DAYS
AS ALL BEACHES, CERRO AZUL SOMETIMES SUKS AND SOMETIMES SHINES. CERRO AZUL WITH A HUGE SOUTH OR SOUTH WEST SWELL DIRECTION USE TO SUCK (THE LEFT HAND SIDE) BUT THE RIGHT HAND WAVES WITH A HUGE SOUTH SWELL LOOKS LIKE INDO.
WITH THESE SWELLS, I RECOMEND YOU TO SURF CERRO AZUL DURING THE LOOSING SIZE OF THE SEWLL. CERRO AZUL WITH NORTH OR NORTH WEST SWEEL USE TO BE PERFECT. NICE DROP BEHIND THE HILL (BE CAREFULL WITH THE ROCKS) AND MANY TIMES AT THE INSIDE, YOU CAN GET A NICE BARREL. THE THE BEACH, WITH 2 SECTIOS 2DS AND 3S WITH A NICE WALL AND FAST SECTIONS.
WITH NO SWELL OR TOO SMALL SWELL ASK THE LOCALS FOR THE "FABRICA" (FACTORY) A NICE BEACH BRACK, SANDY AND LEFT ANR RIGH SIDE. (BEST SESON: SUMMER WITH OFF SHORE WIND AND WAVES WITH WEST DIRECTION)

good but not 4 stars
a nice place good waves but has a couple of mushy spots. surfed it many times from thigh high to about 3 feet overhead. best at chest to head high, fun but not 4 stars. not much fun with four other surfers and six spongers.
