Esterillos
Edit SpotAbout
Fun afternoon spot. Uncrowded, long, and usually big. This place is also good whenever its glassy, but i usually surfed it when it was kinda onshore.
Atmosphere:
Kind of shifty, somewhat hard to read, but you can get big long waves that peel and reform. When its blown out in the afternoon it can be big but not as powerful. Just be careful on the low tides of the sharp bottom.
Additional Info:
This is a beachbreak with lava reef fingers that stick out to see. WAVE MAGNET. This place picks up even more swell than Hrmosa and has different sections of reef breaking all the way to probably 1/2 mile offshore.
