Punta Brava is a surf spot located in a small rocky bay known for its challenging conditions. This area is usually bigger than other nearby spots, making it more suitable for seasoned surfers. The lack of a paddling channel and the presence of sharp rocks can make getting in and out a bit tricky. It's a location that demands respect and caution, especially if you're coming from the land.

The waves here primarily break to the left and occasionally offer some rights, typically over uneven reef. Punta Brava is best with a south to southwest swell and can handle sizes starting from about 3 feet (0.91 meters). It works well on low and mid tides, making those times optimal for surfing. On the right day with the preferred north wind, this spot can deliver some quality waves for expert surfers only.

For those looking to tackle the waves from shore, it's recommended to wear booties due to the rocky bottom. If you're not feeling confident enough to paddle out from land, many surfers opt for a boat, which allows them to tackle the surf without the added risk of getting caught inside. The surrounding environment also includes several other reefs and beaches, providing additional options for surfers seeking a break from the crowds.
