Puerto Azul in Caracas Area is an exposed point break that has reasonably consistent surf and can work at any time of the year. Offshore winds are from the south with some shelter here from east winds. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the ideal swell direction is from the north northeast. Surfable at all stages of the tide. It's sometimes crowded here. Take care of rocks in the line up.
