El Conquistador surf guide
Surf: Consistent, fun, smaller swell peak in front of the Hotel Conquistador. The lefts are usually better, and the reef can work on S swells.
Directions: in front of Conquistador Hotel
Environment: Always crowded since it is suitable for improvers and intermediates unless it is big. Tourist favourite because the locals are surfing the other breaks.
Surf: General: To the south of Spanish Left, out in front of the Conquistador Hotel, is a rocky bay where you'll find a mellow set of waves, popular with all standards and wavecraft when small, with fun peeling lefts and rights breaking over flat but jagged rock. Can get very good when a medium sized swell hits the reef, producing fast walls best left to the more experienced.
Tides: Works on all tides.
Size: Waist high to double overhead.
Wind: SE, E
Swell: NW, SW
Bottom: Rocky reef
Paddling: Easy when small, can be rippy when bigger.
Spot Rating: Fun spot with walling rights and lefts breaking over rocks.
Access: Beach side parking on Calle Arenas Blancas. Watch feet on sharp rocks.
Crowds: Crowd Factor: Popular spot when good.
Local Vibe: Competitive but generally mellower vibes.
Environment: Generally OK; there are reports of sewage discharges here through aging infrastructure.
Hazards: Rocks on inside, crowds.
Season: Best October - March
