Puerto Vallarta
Edit SpotAbout
Be careful, the wave dumps heavily on the sand which can cause some grief to the unwary
Atmosphere:
Good fun wave with no crowd due to restricted access.
Additional Info:
thsi point is only available during hurricane season and when the hurricane is aright outside the bay. crazy though when its on. Was bigger than Sayulita most days as I headed out there each arvo.
