standing on beach...main break to your left...other to your right. both good, both crowded , On-shore wind can come up in the afternoon (thermals). Best when high tide is around 6-9am.
General
Go to Las Tortugas Hotel and tell Louis the H-town boys sent you and you want to surf. They'll take care of you. There are simple little things you can do to get in the water and do your thing without 50000 peeps droppin' in on ya. Go for a walk, monkey-trail style, Louis will tell ya where to go....he told me. Bring some shade and board....Great spot...be back in Jan. Pura Vida
Grande
I've been living over here for a while and Grande is my favorite wave...
It gets crowded and is pretty useless during low tide, but most spots in this area are. (during low tide, head to el tortugero on the other side of the rivermouth by langosta) The main break for grande is right in front of the parking area, with a couple smaller peaks off to the sides. mostly breaks right but with some solid lefts as well.
Great wave, much bigger than the surrounding areas.

Grande
Been hangin out here now for a couple weeks. Chillin with my boy Dingbatz at the end of the road behind Kike's restaurant. He's gotta a surf factory and repairs boards, very well too! He shaped outta huntington for a while so he knows whats up! Fun little baech break break with some potential but the crowds can get annoying like anywhere. Cool low key town with tons of spots within an hour or so driving distance. Might get lucky and see some turtles.
