El Tule is a surf spot located just past Chileno. It's a right-hand reef that generally offers consistent waves without the heavy crowds that you might find at other locations. The slopey walls are particularly well-suited for beginners and those looking to improve their skills.

This spot handles swell sizes up to about 3 ft (0.9 m) and works best with southeast and southwest swell directions. The waves break over an uneven reef and some sand, offering both reef and sand wave types. If you're planning to surf here, aim for times when the tide is low, mid, or high. The ideal wind direction for El Tule is coming from the northwest, which can help create better conditions for your session.

Overall, El Tule can be a good spot for beginners to get comfortable on a board and for intermediates to practice their skills. The less crowded nature means you can get more waves without feeling rushed, making it a nice place to spend some time in the water.
