general information

One of the best and most famous waves in Central America. A powerful right hand point break that throws up long fast walls and barrel sections. When it's working it stacks up against any right point break in the world for quality. Can handle lots of size, and is truly epic the bigger it gets. With size comes critical takeoffs and hollow tubes, so judge the the experience level needed by the potential wipeout pain.

If it's going off and you're not up to it, try the inside section called La Paz, which is much more user friendly.
