Baterias is a surf spot named after the battery of oil platforms that sit offshore. This left point break is more open to swell and wind compared to Lobitos, which means it can offer some good options when the waves are smaller. Getting to the point involves a bit of a trek from El Hueco, so be prepared for a bit of a hike to score some waves.
The waves here work best with a swell coming from the Southwest, and they can handle sizes starting from about 2 ft (0.6 meters). When the conditions are right, low tide can reveal some nice barrel sections along with powerful, thick waves. Further up the beach, you might find some fast spitting kegs that peel along the sand and reef, but this can be too quick for many surfers, so be ready for the challenge. The ideal wind direction is from the Southeast, and it’s important to note that the rip currents can be quite strong, so make sure you are an intermediate surfer to tackle this spot comfortably.
Baterias is a place that really shines with the right south swell and is best surfed at low, mid, or high tide. It's a fun spot for those looking to improve their skills in less crowded waters, but respect the power of the ocean and surf within your abilities.
