More about The Bubble (Hierro Right) surfspot

General: Along the Martian-looking North Track, past the beginner friendly waves of Majanicho, lies the twin breaks of Hierro. Hierro Left - also known as El Hierro - is a fun, walling left hander that works in small to medium swells, so is a great introduction to the north coast reefs. Just to the east lies Hierro Right - also known as The Bubble - which, at its best, is a picture perfect A-frame with fast hollow rights and less intense lefts. Waves come out of deep water and hit the triangular reef with a lot of power. Small, crowded take-off zone. Tides: Works on all tides. Size: Waist high to double overhead. Wind: SE Swell: N, NW, W Bottom: Lava reef Paddling: OK, paddle out in channels. Spot Rating: Fun reefs with rippable lefts and a fast, often hollow right breaking over rocks.

Rocky lava reefs so not for beginners - overhead best left to advanced.

Drive along the North Track - park overlooking breaks.

Best October - March

Crowd Factor: Usually has a crowd, can get mobbed. Local Vibe: OK, competitive.

Good
