hey man you should go to wariruri to surf(right next to the goldmine). or dos playa also. you should check out some locals to help you with the spots. dos playa is sand but almost all the others are reef/rock

decent spots for intermediate surfers?
Coming to Aruba in June/July and looking for some good places to surf without risk of poundage on reefs/rocks. We plan on renting a Jeep. Any ideas?

It is worth it.
It is worth bringing your shortboard but swells are very inconsistent on the western side of the island (where the Marriott is). Even when the swell is up, my opinion is that most of the waves are mushy and not very hollow. It's a huge surprise because you are dealing with offshore winds on reef bottoms. Mostly mellow waves. I have a pintail thruster and a funboard and I end up using the funboard a lot more. Arashi can produce a nice left at low tide and a nice right at high tide but again, it's mello. Right down from the Marriott past the ship is a nice right that can connect for >200 yards if swell direction is right. Bring your booties as getting out of the water can be a bitch on your feet.
