general information

Right hand point break located just below Fort Genois, a 16th century Genoese castle in Tabarka near the Algerian border. Like most of the north coast, it's position nicely to take advantage of the long northerly fetch provided by the Med when a north wind is blowing. But this spot requires a larger swell than most to get going and can handle more size than those the surrounding breaks.
