You can backdoor the paddle out off the beach in front of our property or walk down the beach about four minutes and paddle out through the channel.

This is pretty much our house wave right in front of the property, our guests love this wave. Shacks is for all surfers, a fun reef with channel so no stress surfing. If you want to get barreled or surf the shoulder you can choose your take off location as needed. Just an all-around super fun wave for everyone.

Best Intervals: 12-16 Sec

Surfable: Most all Days Year Round

Experience: Beginner to Advanced

Bottom: Flat Rock Reef

Here we have a wide-open beach with some lava formations about 100 yards offshore that break up the groundswell, move the sand around and make for some various corners and sand bars up and down the beach. It’s hardly ever world-class, but it does pick up a lot of swell so we typically head down here when the swell is a bit smaller. When it gets overhead it gets a bit closed out so we look to other breaks.

Best Tide: All Tides

Best Direction: SW and South

Best Intervals: 12-16 sec

Surfable: When flat we go here, picks up most swell but closes out when big

Experience: Beginner to Advanced

Bottom: Sand

Salinas Grande is good at picking up swell from any direction, but it typically needs some crossed upswell to be really good. If there’s not cross up swell there can be occasional sand bars, but it is prone to closing out. A little farther north is some outside reefs that can make some corners and another river mouth even farther north has some great drainers during the rainy season.

The name says it all, super fun beach break just 200 yards south of our property. This wave has an outside reef that cloud breaks then reforms into a multi peak super fun beach break. You will find a lot of high-performance options here for all surfers and great for beginners on a higher tide.

Our outer reef sits outside Shifties, a bit of a paddle but for advanced surfers this can be the time you surf with just your friends on a very hollow wave. If you are looking for that photo of a lifetime the barrel opens with a direct view from our property, so the angle is stupidly good for our guest on the money shot.
