With its beautiful grey/white sandy beach and all year round swells, it is no wonder that this is a popular surfing location all year round. The off shore winds are consistent enough to provide top quality surfing throughout the year but the swells reach their peak from May to December. World class waves, suitable for any degree of surfing experience is provided by a fantastic beach break. The waves which come from the right and the left make for powerful, clean open face waves with some hollow rides on the low tide. The wave lengths are normally 50 meters but they can reach as long as 200 meters. With varying swells coming from the north-west, west and south west and with a wind westerly wind direction, the surfing conditions here are absolutely amazing. The surfing here is good all day long, but is better at dawn or sunset. Swells can reach up to 17 feet.
Playa Santa Teresa offers a perfect holiday setting and top quality surfing conditions.
