Costalitos

Edit Spot
About

The wave is almost world class when it's breaking. The only problem is that it breaks very rare (Big cold fronts or Hurricanes). Despite of that, the wave is great, has a good barrel section at the take off, and a big wall to rip the entire ride.

Atmosphere:
The atmosphere is great at this spot. The surf comunity of Veracruz is not to big, but almost everybody know's each other. It doesen´t break to often, but when it´s pumping, don´t be surprised if you find a crowd in the water. Respect the locals and they will respect you, plus they might show you other good spots around the area.

Additional Info:
The wave is a left that shapes in front of a jetty that looks like a sand boulder, that's the reason for it´s name "Costalitos" (wich means boulder in spanish). It`s only good like 3 times a year, at most 5, but that changes every season. But when it's on, you can get a smoth and fast barrel ride!!
