La Isla Surf Guide

A high-quality righthand reef that cracks off the island at the tip of Punta Hermosa. Speedy and thin-lipped, it's also quite shallow, with sharp urchins galore. Fairly consistent and reliable; one of the region's best waves. There is also a lefthander off the peak, but it's weak.
