Perro Fino
Edit SpotAbout
In rising tides this wave may have a very nice formation. However, Perro Fino's powerful wave and sharp rocks in the bottom make it a dangerous spot. This is not a place you want to surf alone, specially if you have never been there before. Don’t be deceived by the sometimes large interval between sets. You don't want to be caught in the impact zone and be dragged toward the rocks.
Additional Info:
You will have to park your car at the side of a highway that goes from Jaco to Hermosa and climb a cliff to get to the spot. If you leave anything inside the car it WILL be stolen. I am saying that from own experience.
