About this break
Left is the longer, tubing side, right is shorter. Shallow lava reef, strong currents on big days. Crowded. Level conflict: mondo says intermediate, hello says advanced. Walk in from the Avenida Maritima or the La Laja mirador car park.
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.
