Los Dedos surf guide

Los Dedos is a surf spot known for its unique feature—a gigantic sculpture of giant fingers half-buried in the sand. While it’s not the most powerful place in the lineup, it has a laid-back vibe and manages to attract both surfers and tourists. It’s situated close to other spots, making it a convenient stop for those looking to catch some waves.

The best swell direction for Los Dedos is Southeast, but it can also work with swells coming from the East and South. The spot handles swell sizes of around 2 ft (0.6 m), making it suitable for beginners. You can expect beach breaks here, with waves breaking both left and right over sandy bottoms. The ideal wind direction is from the Northwest, and this spot can handle low, mid, and high tides, which adds a bit of flexibility for your session.

Don’t forget that it’s a spot where you’ll often find a mix of surfers, especially beginners looking to improve their skills. It’s not heavily crowded, which can make your experience more enjoyable. Just be aware that some bodyboarders might be around when the SE swell hits, particularly off the rocky patch nearby.
