Tres Playitas surf guide

Tres Playitas is a popular surf spot known for its consistent waves during the summer months. Located in a sunny area, it attracts both locals and visitors looking to catch some fun waves. The spot features a series of sandy beaches that stretch out, providing different peaks as you head north. While it’s not the most epic place for surfing, there are times when the waves can be enjoyable, especially when the conditions align just right.

The waves at Tres Playitas are mainly beach breaks that can handle swell sizes starting from 1ft (approximately 0.3 meters). The optimal swell direction is from the Southwest, and you can also catch waves coming in from the South and West. There are lefts and rights available, making it versatile for surfers of all abilities, especially beginners. Just keep in mind that the conditions are best when the tide is low, mid, or high, and having Southeast winds can help create better surf. On smaller swell days, you might find a few corners to ride, so it can still offer some fun when the bigger spots aren’t firing.

This spot is great for novices looking to practice their skills, but be aware of some scattered rocks and rip currents in the area. It's a laid-back place where you can relax and enjoy the water, even if it won't always deliver epic sessions.
