Why Riders Love It
Sea breeze, almost daily except when it rains, which is about 40% of the time in the rainy season. The wind is usually light, 10-15 knts but fun and consistent, sometimes stronger but rare.
When to Go
The weather is tropical. All year 80-90's°F air and water. Board shorts only, maybe a rash guard and lots of sun lotion are needed, because the sun is very, very bright.
What to Expect
It's a beach break so it is up to chest deep where the waves break, much deeper on the outside. Amazing wave spot with awesome beach break. If you enjoy surfing definitely go to Morro Negrito, head to 2x overhead, perfect waves. The water relatively clear/clean. Reef shoes are a good idea for coral and rock breaks.
