Fast and peaky wave. Good for shortboarders, SUP smaller than 9 feet, boogie boards. No good for longboarding

On medium and bigger days a peak forms just out from the cemetery in the bay. You can ride the wave for a few hundred metres to the beach when its on. It's not as hollow or as powerful as the main part of the point. Rarely it links up all the way from the top of the point. There is a couple of rocks in this area you need to watch out for.

This spot is located at the tip of the bocana of Barra de Santiago Peninsula. The big sand banks are created by the currents of the estuary by the mangrove behind (where 9 rivers run out).The beauty of this spot is that there is nobody there..only a couple of local surfer kids ..sometimes..most of the time you have the beach for yourself. The breaks are rough, some people break their boards (I've seen it twice). Have seen breaks up to 6 meters. If you want softer waves go down the beach towards vilage where the waves are more mellow and good for beginners. You can park your car at the end of the road, its a very safe area, no thieves around,but there is also a beach hotel located at the end of the road (Capricho Beach House) for overnight trips. There are no sign so just look for the second house after the road ends.www.ximenasguesthouse.com/capricho
