PG from Venezuela

“Los Caracas is a surf spot located about an hour from Venezuela's capital. It’s usually very crowded, but most surfers there have a beginner-level skill set. The spot features three main breaks:

La punta: This wave breaks both left and right, with the left running towards the river mouth and the right peeling towards the cove.
El Inside Inside de Los Caracas: A protected right-hand wave that’s shielded from the wind, making it ideal for longboards on average days.

La boca del rio: This break is more susceptible to wind but can still hold its shape in good conditions.
The wave typically starts breaking between 2 to 3 feet, but it maintains its form well up to 5-6 feet. Beyond this size, it begins to max out. The best season for surfing here is between October and February. The water temperature is warm year-round, and the seabed consists of rocks. Sometimes on big swells with the right direction a left hand shorebrake comes to life pumping short hollow barrels

Los Caracas is arguably the most well-known wave along the coast of La Guaira state.”
