Boilers
Edit SpotAbout
Really nice place. Check the place twice a day, because who knows, you'll find it perfect and surf it on your own (only during the week off course!)
Atmosphere:
Really good wave, long and fast but take care of the tide...it could be risky to get of on the bad waves in front of the rocks! I guess that 6-8ft is the best size to surf this place, because the wave is already very long and fast and tube on the 2nd section (for my part I forget to do so on the 3rd). Experts would enjoy it till 12ft+.
Additional Info:
Hard to enter and go out the water when it's big! You really have to wait for the flat between two sets, and paddle hard to join the guys out there!
