Pepinos is a surf spot that features a left boulder reef located off a small bend in the coast. It has a bit of a trek to get there, with a tricky path through farmland, so it's best to have someone familiar with the area. The beach isn't crowded, which is a plus if you’re looking for some alone time in the water. It’s a spot that delivers some decent surf but isn’t the most reliable when it comes to crowds or conditions.

The wave breaks over boulders and can handle swell sizes starting from about 2ft (0.6 meters). Optimal swell direction comes from the south, but it can also work with northwest swells. You can catch both left and right waves here, with preference for lefts. The best conditions occur during low to mid and even high tides, and it responds well to winds from the east. While you get some fast left slides with barrel potential, too much swell can affect the quality, and the line-up can shuffle around depending on the swell direction. Overall, this spot is more suited for intermediate surfers due to its power and speed.

While Pepinos has high consistency, it can be a challenge to navigate the area. The approach is tough, so you're advised to go with someone who knows the way. The surf can definitely pack a punch, so be prepared for some workout sessions. Just keep an eye on the swell and wind conditions before heading out.
