Los Botes is a popular surf spot known for its left-hand reef break. This wave works best with south swells and can offer fun rides, especially when the northeast to east breezes calm down. The take-off is generally smooth and leads into short cylindrical sections, but as the wave tapers off, it rolls over sand, allowing for rides of up to 150 meters.

The spot handles swell sizes around 3 feet (about 0.9 meters) nicely, with optimal swell direction coming from the south. The waves break over a mix of rock ledge and sand. It's best to surf here during low to mid tide, and while it's suitable for intermediate surfers, be aware that the take-off zone can get crowded quickly. With the preferred wind blowing from the northwest, timing your surf session can make a big difference.

While you're out there, keep in mind that low tide can expose some rocks, so stay alert. Fights for waves can happen, so be ready to assert yourself a bit in the lineup. Overall, Los Botes offers a decent surf experience, especially when the conditions align right.
