La Esmeralda is a laid-back surf spot located on the way to Carupano. This beach offers a nice escape for surfers looking for fun waves without the crowds. It's a picturesque area that attracts both locals and travelers looking to catch some surf.

The best time to surf at La Esmeralda is when there's a northeast swell, though it can also pick up waves from the east. The spot can handle swell sizes from about 1 ft (0.3 meters) and offers both left and right breaks over sand. This makes it a great spot for beginners, as the waves are usually manageable. Low, mid, and high tides work well here, but the south wind is preferable for the best conditions.

If you're heading to La Esmeralda, it's a solid choice for those starting out or anyone looking to enjoy some casual surfing. The more favorable conditions can often mean you'll have a nice session, so grab your board and check it out!
