Los Caracas is a popular beach spot located about 2 hours east of Caracas. It attracts surfers due to its consistency and varied surf conditions. While the main beach can get pretty crowded, especially during holidays, it offers some decent waves for those willing to take a short paddle. The area has a mix of rock and boulder points, adding to its charm and providing different wave options depending on the conditions.

The surf at Los Caracas can be quite good, particularly near the El Rio rivermouth where the long right waves break. The best swell direction to look for is from the NorthEast, but you can also catch waves coming from the North and East. The spot handles swell sizes starting from around 2ft (about 0.6 meters), making it accessible for intermediate surfers. When the swell comes in, the waves break over boulders, offering fun point breaks that provide some nice rides. The preferred wind direction is from the South, and the waves work well with low to mid and high tide, accommodating various tide phases throughout the day.

Since Los Caracas has a consistent surf scene, there's usually someone out on the waves. This spot is perfect for those who enjoy a lively beach atmosphere while still having the chance to catch some decent rides.
