Diabo surf guide

Diabo is a surf spot located just down from Arpoador. It can get crowded, especially with bodyboarders and stand-up surfers looking for some action. The vibe here is pretty chill, but be ready to share the waves with a lot of local talent, so it’s good to have some skills when you paddle out.

This spot works best with south swells, but it can also handle southeast and southwest directions. You’ll find some fun waves here, breaking over sand with both lefts and rights available. It's suitable for intermediate surfers, especially when the swell is around 2 feet (0.6 meters). If the wind swings to the northwest, conditions improve, making for some nice rides. Low to mid tide is usually the way to go for the best experience.

Keep an eye on the short sharp barrels that can form, especially in the right conditions. The local bodyboarders often hit the square slab righthanders, which can be an exciting sight. Just remember, with the crowd and the power of the waves, it's important to stay aware and respect everyone sharing the lineup.
