The Bubble (Hierro Right) Surf Guide
Along the Martian-looking North Track, past the beginner friendly waves of Majanicho, lies the twin breaks of Hierro. Hierro Left - also known as El Hierro - is a fun, walling left hander that works in small to medium swells, so is a great introduction to the north coast reefs. Just to the east lies Hierro Right - also known as The Bubble - which, at its best, is a picture perfect A-frame with fast hollow rights and less intense lefts. Waves come out of deep water and hit the triangular reef with a lot of power. Small, crowded take-off zone.
