Additional Surfing Infos |
| | Very good sandbars here. The waves have plenty of power, works best on the low tide which hollows out. Be prepared for the extremely strong current that drags you from right to left, and on he bigger days the paddle out can be long. Mornings are normally always on with an offshore wind which is perfect, which gives sweet right handers from the main peak.

Locals are friendly except in summer. Nice locals, show respect and take the waves that come and don't drop in. |
| |
General |
It's a very quiet place. Beach is crowded in day, campsite is a bit noisy at night. |
