El Cape
Edit SpotAbout
Please do NOT hire a boat, do NOT encourage this practice, bunch of rich tourists suckers do that and this completly ruins the atmosphere at the line-up.
Additional Info:
If the wave is rather small, just surf it and paddle back. If you pass the small beach, better try to catch wave until you reach "El Point" and go out to walk back.
This is an alternative to Chicama wave when too small or not working properly.
