Nestles Access |
| |
Nestles is on a remote island called Silva in the northern part of the county. Its only access is by a 35 min boat ride from a surf camp called Morro Negrito. The only way to surf this spot is through this camp, it’s just too remote to get to on your own. |

Additional Surfing Infos |
| | Try and be there 2 hours before high tide, find where the rocks are, the water looks so clear it will look like its 2 feet deep but its actually 6 feet deep, so swim down and check the depth.
This wave sucks back a lot where there are rocks, so air drops are common. This wave does barrel and spit, but you need at least an 8 foot wave and you have to take a steep drop to get where it sucks back to find the hollow spot. After you drop it the wave kind of mushes out, and is an easy ride. It’s all about the take off on this waves, it’s a rush.
Also, make sure that if you get caught inside that you paddle at a 90 degree angle to the incoming waves to get to the channel ASAP, don’t try and take the brunt of the waves on the head paddling straight out, you'll get worked, trust me, we have scars to prove it.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
There doesn’t need to be a rotation here at nestles, unlike p-land. Everyone can score waves and the takeoff spots are all over, just DONT GO LEFT, it’s like Stonehenge over there. This is a right only wave for people how are comfortable with a steep drop, there are no rocks to worry about once you are on the wave, just on the take off, try to be to the right of any boils you see, those boils are rocks. |
| |
General |
The spot is great, had the best waves of my life here, just remember be careful on the drop-in and make your bottom turn early or you’ll run out of speed as the waves mushes out. The clean-up sets are sometimes double the average wave size and can catch you off guard, but it’s so worth it, this wave is awesome. |
