Playita is located just north of the airport and offers a right point break that can be pretty unpredictable. While it has some good jetty options to the west, the overall vibe isn’t the most laid-back with planes flying overhead. The spot can be a mixed bag, so keep your expectations in check.

This spot works best with a northeast swell, but it also handles swells coming from the north and east. It’s suitable for swell sizes around 2 feet (about 0.6 meters) and breaks over uneven reef. You can expect right-hand waves here, which are great for intermediate surfers looking to challenge themselves. Winds from the south are preferable, and you can surf during low, mid, or high tide, making it a flexible option for your session.

While hitting Playita, keep in mind that it can get crowded, especially when conditions are good. It’s a great spot to catch some waves, but be ready to share the lineup. Always check the surf report before heading out to maximize your session.
