La Punta - Playa Zicatela surf guide

La Punta at Playa Zicatela is a popular surf spot located at the far south headland of the beach. It's a great alternative when the main break at Zicatela gets too crazy. This area is known for its fun waves and is often less intense, making it more accessible for many surfers. The environment is typically clean, and access is easy whether you choose to walk, drive, or take a bus from Zicatela. However, it can get crowded, especially with both locals and less experienced surfers looking to catch some waves.

This break features a left-hand point that can deliver a variety of waves, from mellow rides to more challenging sections. The swell predominantly comes from the south but can also handle north-west swells, measuring anywhere from 1.2 meters (4 feet) to 4.9 meters (16 feet). The waves break over sand and uneven reef, which adds to the fun but also requires some caution. The best conditions typically occur with east winds and work well at all tide heights: low, mid, and high. It's ideal for intermediate surfers who enjoy shortboards, fish, and bodyboards. Expect some long paddles back out after nice rides, especially during busy times.

The area is known for its heavy crowds and local vibe, so be mindful and respectful when you're out there. Late afternoons often bring lighter winds, and the surf can clean up nicely. Just remember that while itโ€™s great for surfing, the locals are protective of their waves, so itโ€™s best to keep things chill. Overall, La Punta offers versatility and fun for surfers looking for a break from the big waves at Zicatela.
