About This Spot
Remote and exposed beach break known for powerful, hollow peaks and long walls when sandbars align. Jalama picks up any swell and can be world-class on a clean NW swell, but currents are strong and the water is cold.
Local Etiquette
Pack out all trash and respect the wildness of this beach; give right of way to surfers already riding.
