Hy folks,

I am heading to Buenos Aires in February and wondered if anybody knows if you need to buy a car to travel to the surf spots (around Mar del Plata)or is public transport also an option?

thanx

Hey Dude! I live in Buenos Aires too. See, I go to Mar Del Plata for good surfing each time I can. There are two good places I'd recommend you. If you're searching for nice and fast waves go to Punta Mogotes and look for a point called Guillermo. It could also be Mariano too. Its sweet for shortboards...But if youu wanna surf easy, with cool but smallers waves, speciall for hybryds, longs and could work for shorts too, go to Waikiki. The best of that is that both places are quite close, about half a km.
Hope it work for you.
Other thing...First search in pages like www.windguru.com cause in MDQ (Mar del Plata) sometimes you'll get 3m tall wavees and some others... less than a meter. The wind and tides changes ver oftenly.
