Martí
Edit SpotAbout
Take a helmet, jaja (just kidding)!!
Atmosphere:
It is the best reef break I know in the Gulf of Mexico, it’s very fast, powerful and it creates perfect barrels.
It’s a good spot but you got to be careful on good days because the waves are hard to ride and the rocks are the most dangerous thing.
Additional Info:
It’s a very fast wave, but forms perfect barrels. Just be careful every time you duckdive, because it isn’t very deep!
You can park in the streets near the beach. Watch out for the rocks, 100 meters from the sand to the sea they are very close to your feet.
