Maitencillo surf guide

Maitencillo is a popular surf spot located on a 2km stretch of coarse, golden sand. The rivermouth here usually produces the best A-frame waves, making it a go-to place for many surfers. The northern end, known as Abanico, is particularly favored during mornings when conditions are glassy. Small swells can make for some quality surfing sessions, and you can catch waves with swells up to a bit overhead.

The optimal swell direction for Maitencillo is from the southwest, with other manageable swell directions coming from the south and west. The spot handles swell sizes well, particularly around 3 feet (about 1 meter). The waves break over sand, and you can find both left and right rides. Ideal wind conditions come from the east, and it’s best to surf around low, mid, or high tide, with the spot being suitable for surfers of all abilities, including beginners.

Maitencillo can get pretty crowded, especially on good days when the waves are consistent. For beginners, it’s important to pay attention to the longshore drift, as it can affect your positioning in the water. Make sure you know your limits and have fun while enjoying this lively surf spot.
