Don't be fooled by the reported swell size... this is the size required before the spot starts working - the biggest waves I saw here in 4 years were shoulder height. And the chances are, if this is working, the surfing will be excelent at Buraco!

This spot only works when there is *really* big swell running as it is completely protected from the dominant swell direction (hence the comment above about it starting working on "2 to 2.5m swell"). Occassionally we get swell coming in due west - in this case smaller swell will work.Go with the local standouts and have them show you the ropes. Always buy them a beer or three afterwards.
