Boca de Yumuri is a surf spot located near Baracoa in Cuba. It's known for its long, classic cobblestone right point break that rolls into a beautiful bay. This spot is a bit off the beaten path, which means that it’s not super crowded, but it requires a long drive from Havana, taking at least two days to get there. Surfing here can be a bit of an adventure due to its remote location.
The waves at Boca de Yumuri work best with a NorthEast swell, but it can also pick up swells from the North and handle various sizes starting at around 3ft (about 1m) and going up to 8ft (2.5m). The break usually rolls over boulders, so be aware of your surroundings. Surfers can expect the waves to break right, making it suitable for those who are intermediate surfers. The tide can vary — the spot works well during low, mid, and high tides. For the best conditions, a SouthEast wind is preferred, making it a nice option when the wind conditions are right.
Boca de Yumuri is rarely surfed due to its remote location and travel requirements, so if you get the chance, it can offer a unique experience. The scenery is stunning, and with the right swell and wind conditions, you can enjoy a solid surf session without the crowds. Just make sure to check the forecast and plan your trip accordingly!
