Follow the dirt road at the sign for La Ticla off Highway 200 between San Juan de Lima and El Farro. You get there, until you see these painted "Vuelvas" supermarket. (colorfull)
La Ticla has a 180 degree window for year round swell. Best in summer during storm swells. Good to bring your camara so you can take pictures of the (Quiño)murals.
Overview
Atmosphere
People from all over the world come to surf La Ticla year round. The spot used to be notorious for problems with banditos, but has upgraded the facilities recently to include short wave radio. Much safer than in the past. Good friendly atmosphere.
General
La Ticla is primarily a left pointbreak but breaks both right and left year round. La Ticla can get crowded during good swells but it is a great place to meet people from all over the world. Excellent year round surfing spot.

ticla is about as ok as anywhere i have ever been, yeah theres surf in the winter,but the right is either too sectiony or too fast, or both, one of those waves that you learn to hate after three days, the travelers are cool,maybe too cool, it seems theres a bit of dankness contest going on, how dank are you bro? check this i didnt even bring a map down here, and then,well i drove my biodiesel truck down and broguht 3 ounces of humboldt cronic bro......
if you wanna talk real slow,sleep most of the day and surf some shitty rights well this is fricken' heaven in january

Just got back from ticla. Surf was ok. Could be worse, but I know there are place a hell of a lot better. Did have some of our stuff stolen, but hey it is what it is. No regrets, but I'll not be back.
