Gaviotas is a beach located on the east coast that's popular among surfers looking for a casual session. The vibe here is relaxed, making it a good spot for those who want to catch some waves without the crowd you might find at more famous breaks. It’s a manageable place for surfers at different skill levels, especially beginners.

This spot typically works best with northeast (NE) to south (S) swells and can handle swell sizes starting from about 1 foot (0.3 meters). The waves are beach breaks that come at you from both the left and the right, giving some variety even within the same session. The preferred wind direction is northwest, which helps keep the waves clean. Whether it’s low, mid, or high tide, Gaviotas can be surfed at all those levels, making it quite flexible for your surf sessions.

If you’re cruising around the area and looking for other options, there are a few inconsistent beaches nearby that also pick up wind swells from the NE to S. Spots like El Medano, Poris de Abona, and Candelaria might have something to offer if Gaviotas isn't firing on the day you visit.
