Punta Paloma
Edit SpotAbout
Its a good wave considering the natural surrounding the veiws to North Africa, though it rarley breaks it can be a good fun long wave then off for a beer and tapas in Tarifa when done.
Additional Info:
This spot rarley breaks because it needs a strong westerly swell, but when it does you can get a long solid right hand break of the point.
Though try and grab it early, other wise it can get crowded like flys on shit.
