Excellent left breaking wave. Best with Levante wind and Poniente current. Works maybe 5 days per month. The current is pretty strong and in any case, it will take you towards Africa.

For experts only, since you are far away from the shore, offshore winds and the water is not the warmest. Never go out alone and have rescue available.
