La Cupula Surf Guide
This relatively constant left breaks over a rock and sand shelf very close to shore. When it's really firing it offers nice, hollow, barreling tubes and leaves plenty of room for creative surfing. It starts breaking at about three feet and can handle up to ten feet.The entry is quite easy. Just paddle straight toward the point from the small parking lot and duck dive your way through. Due to the presence of a quality bodyboarding wave nearby, this spot will usually be relatively uncrowded.
