Galerazamba in Caribbean Coast is an exposed sandbar break that has fairly consistent surf. Winter and spring are the best times of year to visit. Ideal winds are from the southeast with some shelter here from east winds. Groundswells and windswells are equally likely and the ideal swell direction is from the north. The sandbar break offers mainly right hand waves. Good surf at all stages of the tide. An uncrowded break, even when it is working. Surfing here means negotiating dangerous rips.
