general information

A very rare and heavy wave breaking over a very shallow reef hence the name. It's pretty tricky to get out there needing either a boat or a long paddle, the wave is a little isolated and dangerous so leave this one to the experienced only. It's a short but intense ride that comes into it's own when the surf gets up to double overhead, but swells like this are like rocking horse droppings and don't last long. Very tiny tides in the Med sea so unaffected by tidal movements.
