La Puntilla
Edit SpotAbout
A reliable wave for fun lefts...hasn't been epic in 2-3 years.
Additional Info:
Very dependent on sand flow. Hasn't been world class in a number of years. Sectiony left lines with occasional perfection on the good days. Massive currents and cold water. Paddle out can be punishing.
