More about El Canal surfspot
El Canal is an experts only reef that needs headhigh swell to start breaking and holds double overhead plus cylindrical left walls, as well as a short right over a rocky bottom. More N in the swell helps but it blows-out super-fast and often well before 10am.
Only medium consistency since it needs a decent swell. Park and walk unless staying in the fancy resort beside the break.
