Cerro Gallina is a surf spot that offers some interesting waves at a long boulder point leading into a bay. It’s known for being pretty consistent with south swells, making it a popular choice for surfers looking for a ride in this area. Getting there is a bit of an adventure since you can only access it by boat. Once you’re out there, you’ll get a chance to enjoy some waves without too many hassles.
The waves at Cerro Gallina mainly break as a left over boulders, and they work best with south swells but can pick up west swells too. You can expect the surf to be fun and manageable, especially for intermediate surfers. The swell can handle sizes around 3 feet (about 0.9 meters). The best conditions happen with a northeast wind, and it doesn’t matter too much whether it’s low, mid, or high tide – you can surf it at various tide heights.
It’s a good spot for those looking for a relaxed surfing experience. Expect a rolling left that has some decent power, but it’s also friendly enough for surfers of different skill levels, especially intermediates. Just remember, since it's boat access only, you’ll want to plan ahead to make the most of your time out there.
