Potima Point
Edit SpotAbout
Be respectful if you do see locals, don't drop in and don't leave your trash on the beach
Atmosphere:
Most likely, you'll be surfing alone
Additional Info:
One of the best right handers on the island. Hidden in plain view. Pushes a lot of water. Heavy shore break. There's 3 peaks on a good swell. If you line up right, you can get very long rights. Don't kick out in front of the freeway, you'll get stuck in the rips and pounded by the shore break. FILLED with urchins, wear reef booties or learn the hard way.
