Description

El palmar is a right point break that really needs a good swell to be perfect. It only has on take off spot and its a dussy, real aswome and hollow, then it turns into a quick barrel and from there is regular foot hevean. It can get really crowded on the week ends when all the locals from the city come down. But i have surfed the spot with some freinds during the best week ever and nobody showed. They do some times have competiton here been no worries. The rocky bottom can get you some cuts and watch our for jelly fish, the will get your whole body and i mean your whole body dude. The point it aswome and in the moring on clean days is suprer fun, it will be a short walk away from where you are staying seing that there is small rooms to rent at the bar/resturant or you can get a house to rent too. There is a hotel in San carlos, good chinnes food and plenty of grocery stores....oh yeah there is a secret spot just south of el Palmar, also know as el punto...i will get on line later....its a secret that noboby has discovered or even cares to report untill now.
