Ahogados
Edit SpotAbout
There are some reef-breaks just south of this spot in Playa Las Conchitas. They are even more dangerous than Ahogados because they break in front of boulders.
Atmosphere:
The waves at this beach can get to be 3mts/9ft+. If you are not a good surfer/swimmer don't even think of surfing here, you could die.
Additional Info:
This is a very DANGEROUS spot. I rated it for kamikazes not only for the wave itself, but because of the currents and the rocks. 1002 people have drowned here (playa de los ahogados means drowned people's beach).
