Ponzos surf guide

Ponzos is a beachbreak surf spot that you can usually count on for consistent waves. It's a long stretch of sand that attracts a good crowd, especially at the south end. Parking can get tricky during the summer months, so plan accordingly if you’re visiting during peak times.

The best time to surf here is when there’s a Northwest swell, particularly at low tide. Ponzos handles swell sizes well, starting from around 3 feet (about 1 meter). You can catch waves breaking both left and right, which is nice for mixing things up. The preferred wind direction is Southwest, so check the forecast to make sure conditions are set up for a good session. This spot is best suited for expert surfers who can handle the often busy lineup.

With its beach break over sand, Ponzos is a solid choice for those looking to ride some quality waves. Make sure you keep an eye on the different swell directions—West and North are also decent here—and enjoy the flexible tide windows, as the waves can work well at low, mid, and even high tide. Just be ready for a bit of a crowd at times!
