Norte beach

This right hander located on Norte (or Algodio) beach has a lot of strength, and is quite long, holding tall swells. Its seabed is mixed (rock and sand), as a result of which it is not always easy to be in the right place at the right time. This is why this is a wave with which local knowledge proves important. It works above all with swells from the N and with an E wind.
