La Derecha Surf Forecast and Surf Reports

La Derecha in West Uruguay is an exposed point break that only works once in a while. Autumn and winter are the best times of year for waves. Works best in offshore winds from the west. Tends to receive distant groundswells and the best swell direction is from the southeast. When the surf is up, it can get quite busy in the water. Rocks are a hazard.
