Car-rille is a surf spot that spans about 1 km and is known for its right-hand point breaks. It really comes to life when there’s a solid SouthWest swell, especially around 6 ft (about 1.8 meters). Surfers often talk about it in the same breath as places like Rincon due to its unique setup. The vibe here is relaxed, and it attracts surf enthusiasts looking for a decent wave.
This spot does well with SouthWest swells but can also handle NorthWest swells. It’s versatile enough to work at sizes from 2 ft (around 0.6 meters) up to larger swells. Waves break over a mix of uneven reef and sand, providing both variety and challenge. Right-hand waves are the main attraction, making it suitable for intermediate surfers who feel comfortable navigating the breaks. The best winds come from the SouthEast, and no matter the tide—low, mid, or high—you can usually find something riding.
Car-rille is a good option if you're looking to avoid the crowds at more famous spots. The mix of reef and sand gives you different types of waves, and since it’s a point break, you can often catch a ride for a while. Just remember, it’s best suited for those with some experience under their belt, so it’s ideal for intermediates looking to sharpen their skills.
