About this break
South end of Las Canteras, only swell that gets past La Barra. Soft peaks, rides 50-100 m. Surf schools. Submerged rocks near the Red Cross hut at low tide.
Swell direction is where the swell comes from (0° north, 90° east). The score for each hour multiplies four factors: how much swell energy falls inside the break's window, wave period, wind quality for this coast and how well the tide matches the break.
