general information

This spot has got to be one the the most isolated and least surfed quality point breaks on the planet. It's a long powerful right hander wrapping around this sandy handland and breaking over a patchy sand and rock sea bed. To surf this spot your gonna have to come well prepared for the isolated and harsh desert environment but you will be rewarded with looong punchy rides and certainly no drop ins!! There are several more similar spots along this coastline for the most commited surf explorers.
