Vagabundo surf guide

Vagabundo is a summer surf spot that caters mostly to beginners. It’s located on a beautiful black sand beach framed by stunning volcanic landscapes. This place has its charm, especially for nature lovers, but it’s not the go-to spot when you’re looking for powerful waves and challenging conditions.

The surf here usually works best with small swells, handling sizes up to around 2ft (about 0.6 meters). It's optimal when the swell direction comes from the north, but it can also pick up waves from the west and east. You'll find both left and right-hand beach breaks here, but don’t expect them to be fast or hollow. The best times to surf are during low to mid tide. Just keep in mind that strong currents can be an issue, so be cautious, especially if you're a beginner.

Even though Vagabundo is pretty mellow, it's important to pay attention to the wind. Winds from the south are preferable for better conditions. This spot works when everything else is flat, so it's handy to know when it can actually break. Overall, it’s a decent place for honing your skills without too much hassle.
