Buritaca surf guide

Buritaca is a surf spot located further east, nestled in a scenic, natural setting. It features two right pointbreaks that catch the waves coming in from the northeast. The atmosphere here is laid-back and welcoming for surfers looking to enjoy some time on the water. While it may not be the most famous spot on the coast, it offers a unique experience for those willing to explore.

The surf at Buritaca can handle swell sizes starting from 2 ft (about 0.6 m) and goes up from there. With optimal swell direction coming from the northeast, surfers can expect consistent action, particularly with swells from the north and northeast. The waves break over both boulders and sand, and for those looking for a fun ride, the rivermouth waves deliver an exciting challenge. The preferred wind direction is from the south, and the tide can be low, mid, or high, making it a flexible spot for various surfing conditions. This spot is best suited for intermediate surfers, who will find it manageable yet stimulating.

In addition to the surf, Buritaca is home to plenty of marine life, including lots of turtles, which adds to the natural beauty of the area. So, while you're out riding the waves, keep an eye out for these gentle creatures in the water.
