surfing in cerro azul
Easy paddle out when small, gets hairy when big. A happy alternative is to go in off the jetty (big jump) and paddle accross. A hollow wave, starts on sand bottom by the rocks and pulls hollow over some un-seen rocks.
Atmosphere
Easy going most of the time, but as it has a small take off zone, when it gets good it gets crowded, especially in summer when the town is a tourist destination. The locals rip, but are generally friendly if you show respect
