La Isla is a surf spot known for its unique breaks, particularly popular among surfers looking for a challenge. This spot typically comes alive with northwesterly swells but can also work with some south swells. It tends to draw a crowd when the conditions are right, so expect some competition for waves, especially among the locals.

The waves here break left over an uneven reef, offering some decent tubing sections on the best days. It handles swell sizes starting at around 3 feet (0.9 meters) and can perform better with a medium-sized swell. You'll want to catch it during low to mid tide for optimal conditions. The preferred wind direction is southeast, which can help make the waves more manageable and fun. Remember, the break is quite close to the rocks, so be cautious and only tackle this one if you're an intermediate surfer or better.

A heads-up: the bottom can be really shallow and rocky, so watch your step when paddling out. On good days, La Isla really shapes up, but it can also be hit or miss, so be prepared for whatever rolls in.
