Puerto Rico Access |
| |
Itīs half and hour north of montaņita or 20 minutes south of Puerto López. Itīs in the same beach as Ayampe and Las Tunas, in the right extreme. By car you go until the town of Puerto Rico or you can also enter the town by a street next to the entrance of Alandaluz (hostal). Then go through the town and into the beach, ask for directions. There are a few private houses from people of guayaquil that come once in a while, the easiest road will be through their property but the door isnīt open always, Anyways you can access the beach by a road near to a big property or a road near a graveyard. |

Additional Surfing Infos |
| | You may noy be able to go all the way into the beach with your car because of the fences, but you can leave it there, you will only find ocassional tourist wandering, so thereīs not a theft problem. Itīs better to surf the wave with rising tide, otherwise it will be closeouts all the time. With good swell and wind it can get really tubular. Sometimes in the point near the mountain you will have this rigth wave that starts with a tube and unfolds in a wall until the beach. But most of the time iīsnīt really good, try it if Rio Chico or other spots nearby arenīt working.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
There is only the surf in Pto Rico, besides a couple of beach houses that remain empty most of the time. Sometimes you will see fishermen climbing the mountain in the point like pros itīs death defying. In the whale season, you will see them rigth next to you in the line up.
Beware of the falling tide if youīre next to the mountain itīs pretty heavy and wonīt let you go easily if you donīt have a surfboard or if you loose it. The shorebreak is really good for skimboarding. |
| |
General |
Itīs pretty ordinary but sometimes you can score really good waves like in the months of dec-may. It gets really big, iīve seen it like 3 meters plus, but just giant close outs, maybe good for tow surfing?? |
