Las Botes in West Uruguay is an exposed beach break that has consistent surf. Winter is the optimum time of year for surfing here. Offshore winds blow from the north northeast. Tends to receive distant groundswells and the best swell direction is from the south. The beach break offers both left and right hand waves. Best around low tide. Unlikely to be too crowded, even when the surf is up. Rocks are a hazard.
