Punta Negra, also known as Punta Prieta, is a surf spot that has its own unique vibe. It's typically known for its right point break, making it a go-to location for surfers looking for some fun waves. The spot is best enjoyed during the winter months when the conditions are more favorable, especially with offshore winds early and late in the day.

This spot really shines with swell coming from the west and northwest, and it handles swell sizes starting from about 2 feet (0.6 meters). The waves break over an uneven reef, which can add some challenge and excitement to your session. Most of the time, you can expect right-hand waves, and it's suitable for intermediate surfers who are comfortable navigating the reef breaks. Coming at low, mid, or high tide gives you options, but make sure to watch for the preferred north winds to get smooth conditions.

Punta Negra has a pretty relaxed atmosphere, and it’s a nice place to kick back after a surf. The consistency of the waves, especially during the winter, makes it a spot worth checking out if you’re in the area. Just be aware that while it's a solid spot, it might not compare with some of the more famous breaks around.
