How La Puntilla works

Now 12:00Updated four times a day

SwellGood
From the south-west (236°). The best direction for this beach. Period 13 s: long, powerful waves.
WindGood
18 km/h from the south-west: it's offshore, blowing from the land. Cleans it up.
TideCareful
0.4 m, low and falling. It works on every tide, best on low to mid.
SizeGood
1–1.5 m. Its best size: 1.0–2.2 m.
CurrentBad
The current is strong today. With waves over 1.2 m it pulls harder than usual.

In general

The break
A point at the north end of the main beach, below the town. Rock at the start, then a shifting sandbar.
Swell
A west swell makes it bigger than a south-west swell of the same height.
Wind
South and south-west winds are offshore here. When the afternoon wind blows out the other two, check this one.
Tide
Low to mid tide is best, but it works on every tide.
Current
There is always a current pulling down the bay. From 1.2 m or with a south swell it is strong. On your first time, ask where to go in.
