La Playita Surf Photo: 'SW swell after nochevieja' by josé
this year in the beginning of January, the southwest swell seemed to provide the optimal conditions for La Playita (Santa Maria) - once the onshore wind, also SW - had dropped, which is rare here with the south swells. A fickle spot to surf, and shouldn't be the first choice for the random traveling surfer, as you need more time to get the hang of the spot, compared to other breaks.
