El Bolsillo surf guide

El Bolsillo is a surf spot located right next to the jetty, a bit north of Pradomar. It is known for picking up all the northeast swells, making it a popular choice when the conditions are right. However, it's worth noting that the spot can max out in overhead conditions, which means it might not be suitable for everyone. Expect strong rips at times, so be mindful if you're out there.

The optimal swell direction here is northeast, but you can also catch some decent waves when the swell comes from the north. El Bolsillo handles swell sizes starting at about 1 ft (0.3 m), and it breaks over boulders and sand. The waves typically break to the right, which is great for those who prefer that direction. For the best sessions, aim for low to mid tide, and you'll want to look for southeast winds for cleaner conditions. This spot is best suited for intermediate surfers, so keep that in mind before paddling out.

Watch out for some rocks in the lineup that can surprise you if you're not careful. Overall, El Bolsillo has its pros and cons, but it can definitely offer a fun session if the conditions align in your favor.
