Covachos
Edit SpotAbout
Beautiful situation with and island and sand-ridge in front of the main beach, but avoid high tide as it is just a beach break
Atmosphere:
Sort of a peak break, as it breaks best near the rocks, the right is fast and hollow and can be quite powerfull. Several other smaller waves can be found wrapping around the island and onto the sandy beaches.
Additional Info:
Best to surf it on low to mid tide.
