Cotton Trees is the crown jewel of Robertsport, a long left point that can offer rides of half a mile or more when conditions align. The wave breaks beneath towering cotton trees in the primary rainforest, creating one of surfing's most unique settings. When SW swells arrive during the rainy season, the wave peels perfectly along the point, offering endless walls and the occasional barrel section. This is world-class surfing in one of the world's most remote locations.
