Surf Break: Los Patos

Los Patos on the South Coast is an exposed reef and point break that has quite consistent surf. Summer offers the best conditions for surfing. Offshore winds are from the north northwest. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the best swell direction is from the southeast.The break here is a left hand point. Relatively few surfers here, even on good days. Watch out for rocks and rips.

Secret spot? We can hide it!
