El Unico
Edit SpotAbout
This is primarily a bodyboard wave only. With Steep drops and spitting tubes onto the sand! Best to go with a group of 3 friends so if you have any problems you got someone to watch your back...
Atmosphere:
This a very local spot. So if you are planing to visit this spot be prepared for heavy localism. Park your car in a visble place because there are a lot of thieves.
Additional Info:
PARK YOUR CAR WHERE YOU CAN SEE IT! And put everything in the trunk--or at least out of site.
