Simply MindBlowing! Enjoy!
Atmosphere:
Look for the geysers in the rocks. They call these the blowholes and hotspots. Go from the cliffs and have a sitter to watch over you. The rips are strong and the rocks are near the break if you wipe out. At low tide, it can get shallow so watch the bottom full of coral. It's an amazing ride but take care. Probably the gnarliest waves in Cozumel.
Additional Info:
This spot has a lot of cliffs in break. You can park your car anywhere along the highway but to get to the surf, you're best to jump from the cliffs. This is an amazing place but can be dangerous. Be a strong swimmer.

Cozumel, Mexico. This is along the beautiful coastal highway. Not very much development here at all. Just keep in mind that the sign tells you when you reach it. It's also the most southern break on the island.
