Punta Blanca

Point breakBeginnerFaces NW · 333°Draft metadata

A residential beach with calm water most of the year, good for family swimming. North to north-west swell (Dec–Feb) brings a left at El Espigón that suits beginners when it is small but is for experts only when it builds; swimming is unsafe during those big-swell periods.

Do the models agree? · Wed 21

Strong disagreement: the day's peak ranges from 0 to 61. Treat the forecast as uncertain.
