Playa de Salinas
Edit SpotAbout
Its fucking sick, im only sorry i dont have the brain capacity to send you the photos i have of the place , pretty computer illiterate.
Atmosphere:
It depends if there are any other people out , i supose the atmosphere is what you make of it, but its a bit like surfing on the moon when theres no0one else around.
Additional Info:
Sick wave , fast take off , barrel from start to finish,, west swell wrap around the point but it'll work better on a strong southerly. Have seen photos of it holding four times over-head, seriously shallow at low-tide but still surfable, it hits a ledge at high tide and seems to stop working though i didnt surf it over 6-8ft.
Lots of large urchins and a couple of unfreindly spaniards at the weekend.
