Caves surf guide

Surf: Just on the other side of the spooky, shark infested channel is Caves, a phenomenal right which is the locals favourite and regarded as the best spot in the Cactus area. With morning offshores and a decent swell, it can become a reeling world-class, voluminous barrel breaking over a shallow ledge. Caves holds a good size, prefers lower tides and must be offshore NE. There’s also a localism factor to take into account, as guys have settled down here purely to surf this spot and they enforce strict laws about wave priority. Environment: The most crowded spot for sure if it is working. Only experts will make the drop and although the reef is a slab, it's sharp. Booties.
