General Overview

Possibly the heaviest wave on the Caribbean coast. The bottom is covered in a coral reef that appears impossibly shallow on a low tide. This wave is fast and powerful. If you are the slightest bit uncertain about going out… Don't. When it is smaller the crowds increase, but when it is on, the locals who have the place dialed in will be out there doing their thing and if you can make the drop you might get one or two.
