    Editor’s Comments

    There are 3 different peaks on this beach. The first, near the breakwalls, works better with a big swell and south winds, this peak produces a fast and hollow left hander. The second, between the breakwalls and the shipwreck, offers rights and lefts on medium swells and south winds. The last peak, further north, works on medium to small days and can is protected from NE winds, which are very common on summertime.
