 Basically we have beachbreaks and sandbars
and the height of the waves vary in a range between 3-12 feet depending on the swells.
Our biggest waves can be surfed during
our rainy season, between June and October, although the sandbars are constantly moving (due to the power and speed of the
waves themselves), which makes them a bit technical. Between the months of December and April (although the average height
is 5-6 feet) the sandbars are quite stable, offering the cleaniest sessions.
Our
waves can be catalogued as Fun Waves, but for Guatemala our spot can be catalogued as Regional Classic.
During
the mornings we normally have offshore winds, which turns the ocean glassy and creates nice and constant hollow left and right
breaks. Around 11:00 a.m. the wind changes and blows south, which diminishes the quality of the wave, sometimes surfable,
sometimes not. Most days at around 4 pm the wind slows down a bit and we have good consitions the rest of the afternoon.
There is also a river mouth at some 600 meters from our camp.
Some surfers have reported stingrays, marine turtles,
and dolphins, among many other species while surfing. It is quite common to see Pelicans "surfing" over the waves' lips early
in the mornings and during late afternoons.
