PACIFICO (Burgos) – Long, slow breaking perfection high or low tide handles up to 10ft., 400m waves. A fine dish for those who don’t like their waves too hot.

CARIDAD (Pilar) – Short, fast left with a super-shallow end bowl. You can only surf it when the tide is high.

NEIL’S SPOT (Pilar) – A well-shaped right hand break at the base of a small island near the town of Pilar. Protected from big swell and northeast winds so the waves are usually 40% smaller than the outer reef breaks like Cloud 9. A good alternative when the outer swells are huge and scary.

PILAR – This is a series of lefts in-front of the town’s wharf, but it needs huge swell on the reef before it starts working.

AT GENERAL LUNA ISLAND ROCK ISLAND – Another excellent right hand break. The swell wraps around the base of a small rock island about 1.5 kms offshore. It hallows and bowls over into a superb high speed sections that will sometimes deliver 200m rides. Excellent high performance wave that can hold swells up to a double overhead and at its best at 2 or 3 meters.

CLOUD NINE – A worlds class right hand break that offers machine-like barreling perfection. It works on any swell when there’s southwest winds but works at its best from 2 to 3m. the wave is big, thisk peak that rises abruptly, hallows out and breaks heavily in just 2m of water.

PANSIQUION REEF – Open ocean right hand break just 20 minutes by banca south of General Luna. This reef needs a swell of 2m or more and is not as intense as most waves in the area.

LA JANOSA ISLAND – There are some fun lefts in front of La Janosa barrio and some power left on the east coast.

ANTOKON ISLAND – A perfect left wraps 180 around tiny Antokon island. Large swells is needed before it breaks cleanly. There is also a right hand break opposite Antokon Island.
