Location
Detailed information
The spot works well with a north or northwest wind, which is side-on relative to the east-west oriented beach. In the adjacent lagoon, the water is absolutely flat, perfect for beginners and freestyle. In open sea, it becomes chop with strong wind, and there are small waves easy to ride on the Trabucador side.
Launching is done directly from the wide beach, with a clear launch area. The first 50 meters are shallow, you can stand everywhere for learners. Be careful to stay in marked areas to avoid lagoons and the river channel.
Close to Riumar, 15 km away, you can combine both for a mix of flat and waves. In summer, it fills up quickly with the heat, prefer the less crowded sides for a calm launch.
