Description

NOT very good when I was there. Not really a point more just a bend in the coast, waves do NOT line up, just peaks and closeouts. Posted this to warn you against the hellish trip trying to find it, I'm still not entirely sure I did. What I saw was just a slight bend in the coast over a few hundred metres which didn't produce any good waves, which were about 5 feet on the sets. Taxi driver had no idea where the town was. No facilities, just a very small settlement on the beach. Wind from the south looked ok, but the waves were mushy closeouts and not worth it. Also the brownest water you will ever see (chocolate milkshake stuff).
