Without saying, if there's a swell you'll either get some amazing waves, or you & your crew will snap all your boards (crew = 3 or less please)... sit way further outside than you're accustomed to, esp. on dinky 6' chips. This is my gospel truth having surfed Crocaronal since 1986 & still owning a small finca on the top ridge. My "short boards are 7-8, 8-6", +9-3 pin & 10-6 gun beast that's been used quite a bit (foam is your best friend)... and these ain't your daddy's fun shapes or nose riders.
There's little to no facilities nearby depending on your needs (especially a hospital), as this area is very rustic and if you don't lose your vehicle in the Rio Ora southbound, odds are Rio Bongo will if northbound... gas up on the way & remember always send your buddy or wife to check the river crossings depth due to crocs!”
