About

At Sunset, the waves unfurl like poetry, breaking both right and left over a coral reef mixed with sand. They dance with a gentle power, beginning to work at less than a meter and holding their grace up to two meters or more, depending on the swell from the west or southwest. The ideal time to ride is mid tide, with the tide rising and falling, while the winds from the east promise clean faces. But beware, for the sharp rocks and lurking urchins remind you that the ocean gives and takes with equal measure.
