Additional Information
The take off is difficult and locals are pretty good. Be patient. Be carefull 'cause this spot is really
dangerous !!Perfect wave for bodyboarding.Don't forget your helmet
Atmosphere
Incredible spot. Works by Big Big swell. The good point is that's it's a spot that works with West wind. So at every tempest, check it. You can sometimes stay
on the same wave during 15 seconds or more ...

General
Locals are friendly but it's crowded : come alone.

do your homeworks... - this spot is good, but dangerous - keep that in mind! takeoff is often right onto the rocks, so either you know how to pull left IMMEDIATELY, or you will find yourself on the rocks... i know 2 guys, on broke his finger, the other one dislocated his shoulder here - one ONE day.so, your are welcome to surf here, but know what you are doing...

Not so good - The wave doesn't break often (three times during the winter), and it is often windy, gets very flat (forget about the barrel!)
