La Puntilla surf guide

La Puntilla is located right next to the colonial fort in Puerto Plata, a popular tourist area. This surf spot features an A-frame reef setup that attracts surfers looking for some action. It's best suited for those who are comfortable in the water due to its currents and the natural challenges of the reef.

The waves here work best with a northerly swell, handling sizes around 4ft (1.2 meters). You can expect both lefts and rights as the waves break over the uneven reef. While the waves can be fun, they are more suited for intermediate surfers. It’s important to note that the best wind direction is from the south, and the spot works well during low, mid, and high tides.

La Puntilla can get consistent swells, scoring around a 5 for reliability. However, it can get crowded given its location, so be prepared for some company in the water. Depending on the conditions, a fair paddle is needed to get out, especially if you're looking for the best spots to catch the waves.
