Escalera
Edit SpotAbout
it breaks every day but only 10 good days in 1year.
have a check!
Atmosphere:
No the perfect wave but when it gets good it's a skate ramp.
whenever is firing local ripper bodyboarder "EL MANNU" is out.saw him doing pretty insane stuff with 10foot closeouts.that guy got the gift.
Additional Info:
this wave will only work with not so much swell and an incoming tide. if the swell gets bigger, or the tide is outgoing you will get closeouts only. on small days its a good alternative to cotillo.
Location
Loading...Access
5 minutes after cotillo beach
drive all the way along cotillo and try to get on a road close to the cliff....look out for other cars. park there (use the damn handbrake!!!). to get to the beach you need to descend a very steep and low quality concrete staircase, you will be in danger wearing sandals. either you waer shoes or you go barefoot. sit down on the beach and enjoy the atmosphere! do not forget to feed the chipmunks!
