Point of mussulo
Edit SpotAbout
A very pictuesque place, with limited surfing potential. Only worth it if you can see waves here from the mainland, and you don't have means of getting to any of the other spots further south!
Atmosphere:
A 'vacation' beach on the northern tip of Mussulo sand spit. Good for picnics, but with unrelenting sun in the summer months. A greta camping spot.
Additional Info:
Don't be fooled by the reported swell size... this is the size required before the spot starts working - the biggest waves I saw here in 4 years were shoulder height. And the chances are, if this is working, the surfing will be excelent at Buraco!
