general information

West around the headland from Playa Montoya is a Classic left point break pushing in long left handers braking over flat rock. On bigger good days it has hollow sections crying out for your best pigdog barrel stance. Best left to experienced surfers when this happens as the rocks will take a chunk out of you if it all goes pear shaped wrong.
