Roadside reef in Arecibo with an A-frame take-off that bowls for about 50 m before running into a long right wall toward the little bay; the left is shorter. NNW to N swell from head high up and a south wind make it work, and it is sensitive to the trades, so go early. Wannasurf contributors put it with Gas Chambers among the island's heaviest barrels; parking is across the street.
