Playa La Castilla surf guide

Playa La Castilla is a surf spot located just south of the bridge over the Cordova. It features a mix of rocky and sandy sections, making it a unique place to catch some waves. The beach typically attracts surfers looking for something a bit different, and it's a spot where you can find waves breaking under various conditions.

This surf spot shines especially on south and west swells, with the best left breaking off the rocks and rolling into the beach. The waves can reach about 4 ft (1.2 m) and often deliver powerful and pushy rides. While you won't find many barreling sections here, the waves can be long and fast. The optimal wind for surfing is from the east, and it works well on low, mid, and high tides. It's important to note that this spot is better suited for intermediate surfers, given the rippy conditions and uneven reef.

In terms of swell direction, Playa La Castilla is best with south swells, but it can handle west ones too. The unique combination of wave types, primarily point breaks, makes it an interesting challenge for those looking to improve their skills. Just be prepared for a lot of movement in the water, as the rip currents can get pretty strong at times.
