Galerazamba Surf Guide

Galerazamba in Caribbean Coast is an exposed sandbar break that has pretty consitent surf. Winter and spring are the best times of year to visit. The best wind direction is from the southeast with some shelter here from east winds. Tends to receive a mix of groundswells and windswells and the ideal swell angle is from the north. The sandbar break favours right handers. Good surf at all stages of the tide. An uncrowded break, even when it is working. Dangerous rips are a hazard of surfing here.

Kudos to everyone who helped us debug this over the past 3 months.

Be sure to click on the Advanced Surf option to see extra details about the sea-state. Look out for crossing swells and short period local wind swells and chop that will often spoil a groundswell even if the wind is perfect. As yet there is no allowance for this in the swell rating. This is something we are working on.
