About this Spot

Located on the southern edge of the island, this spot breaks on a rocky bottom and can provide long right waves. Due to its exposure is often too windy (thus a most famous kite spot). The best conditions are with a swell from the southeast, south, and southwest, and wind from the northwest, north, and northeast.
