Carúpano is a sand-bottomed beach break that peels both left and right. There are good waves to be found in town itself, though be ready for churned-up, troubled water if you end up around the rivermouth.
When It Works
Carúpano pulls in swell from northeast through east (NE-E), and a northeast (NE) swell is the best match. It's usable from 0.3 m / 1 ft to 1.8 m / 6 ft. Consistency is moderate, so you can count on waves showing up fairly regularly.
Wind and Tide
Look for a south (S) offshore wind to clean up the faces. The beach works across low, mid, and high tide, with a rising tide generally the better call.
Local Tips
The gentle beach break makes this a friendly spot for beginners finding their feet, and you can expect a moderately busy lineup when it's working.
Access
There's free parking along the road nearby, so getting in and out is straightforward.
