Look out for the armed HUMVEES full of Marines, they'll steal your camera if they catch you taking pictures in the direction of the "top secret" prison camp on the bluff overlooking the beach... even if its digital and you can delete the pictures. The edges get shallow (less than 1ft) by the rocks.
Easy wave for all surfers the life guards shut the beach when there are medium size waves but its a long beach and you will be sure to find a wave you can surf, plus varadero is very small so if there is no surf one side you can walk to the other side in minutes.
i cant really tell you how to surf this place well. however there are two locals that frequently surf the spot and if you can get the chance to bump into them there very mellow and would love to show you around.
I hit this spot about 10 years ago on magazine trip that didn't work out (the commies stole all our film). I'm curious wheher anyone else has ever been there. I may have been the first to surf it, The locals thought "surfing" was windsurfing and they kept asking me where the sail was on my board.Anyeway, it's a big government-run resort, very beautiful beach. Sketchy swell, I think becuase it's blocked by the Turks and Caicos.
A long barrier reef along the town of Caletone, a small fishing village, with breaks and bends that allow some sectiony lefts and rights to peel. Constant wind swell in the summer months allow some consistent sloppy peaks to be ridden but is better on possible winter groundswells.
I'm knee boarder from Hawaii.This spot you say is at the top of temptation pont.There is a easy way out to the wave, just watch for the rocks, the BIG urchins coming from hawaii and surfing the big island for years, Rocks are just part of the fun.and big sharks.and love those urchins !!
Park your car at the sid of the street just before entering the bridge. left hand side is a little bar. People are friendly but poor, so bring some little gifts to avoid giving money.
