Cambutal

Edit spot

About

This break with a good swell can be as good and powerfull as Santa Catalina but the only diference is the non existing crowd of this place and that´s a good advantage... in Cambutal you will find diferent breaks in the area because is a huge coast line with waves breaking along coast there are beach breaks as well and other spots that can be reach by boat but you will find there very thick and big waves (15+ feet), Cambutal breaks receive swells from north and south and also west because of it´s geographical position so don´t miss it and visit this spot. see ya.

Additional Info:
Just bring two boards, some bug repelent and wax because you will surf a lot of waves along with your friends.
