It is not consistent at all, it might break 4 or 5 times a year, it needs a big swell.
It is one of the heaviest waves in Uruguay with a dangerous rocky bottom. It can hold 10 ft or more.
The take off is steep, the first section is the most dangerous, there is a big rock that might come out in front of you depending on the angle of the wave and the tide, after that it gets fat and then it hits a second reef and gives you a nice wall.”
