Barranquito is a surf spot that features an organized jetty located on the coast. It's known for being popular back in the '60s and '70s, and while it may not draw the same crowds today, it still has some fun waves to offer. The spot is often less intense than the breaks found to the north, making it a go-to for surfers looking for a more relaxed session.

The surf at Barranquito usually handles swell sizes around 2ft (approximately 0.6 meters), and it's ideal when the optimal swell direction is Southwest. You can also catch some waves with south or northwest swells. Waves typically break over boulders and sand, and both lefts and rights can be found here. The preferable wind direction is Northeast, and it works well on low, mid, and high tides. This spot is especially suitable for beginner surfers looking to improve their skills since the waves can be more forgiving compared to other places.

On good days, you might find beginners and improvers mixing it up with a few experienced surfers, so be ready to share the waves. Although Barranquito might look more lined-up from the cliffs, it's a pretty laid-back spot that offers an opportunity for some enjoyable surf sessions.
