Once you get there, park along the beach at one of the cabanitas. This costs a few pesos (10.000 or so?) but your stuff will be secure, and you'll have a place in the shade. Don't try and surf here during "high tide". This is at the new and full moon periods. At this time the water levels go up, and the current can be dangerous, as well as parking disappears.
I say this is the heaviest wave of the Caribbean region when it's breaking. Be warned that this spot is very wind sensitive. There must be no wind or off-shore winds. Or maybe a slight onshore breeze. The wave is very powerful and barrels are the call here. The bottom is made of very sharp rocks and sand. Be careful!
If you come by bus or car you can exit in Buritaca village and just follow the river to get to the spot. Another way would be to get to the beach is use the ´El Viajero beach club´ would also be a great place to stay for a couple of nights as they offer from dormitories to luxiores Cabanas, have a restaurant bar, offer yoga and most importantly they off board rentals and lesions.
This is one of the first surfed spots in the Caribbean Coast of Colombia therefore is a little crowded. Crowds are Ok if you show respect. But remember it is always empty during the week and what we call a crowd won't probably match with your concept of "crowded". Obviously depending on where you're from. Very fun peaky wave.
Dunno much about it cause it was only tiny when i went but on a solid swell looked like it'd be good. Noone else there and haven't met anyone else whose said anything else about it. Could be a hoax, but i don't think so.
there are two main brakes: 1)rivermouth: very nice and powerful barrel sometimes really close to the shore but makeable.Sand bottom.The bigger the better! Easy paddle out with the river's current(not really a river but a "estero"). 2) Pointbreak: this is to the north side of the beach. Brakes with small swells and holds big ones too. This is where the falt rocks are.
Bring lots of water and sunscreen. Works best on winter days. June August although December on early morning can get classical days.
It is a powerful wave But choppy most of the time. Tends to closeout but you can find some workable shoulders.
