El Valle surf guide

El Valle is a laid-back surf spot located between El Almejal and the rivermouth of La Bocana. This area is known for its beach breaks that cater to all skill levels. The vibe is chill, making it a good place for both locals and visitors to enjoy some surf time without too much fuss.

The surf here is pretty consistent, and it can handle swells from the Southwest and Northwest, with optimal conditions coming from the Southwest. It works well with swells ranging from 1 ft (0.3 m) up to bigger sizes, but it’s best to be careful when it gets large as it can become chaotic. The waves break over sand, offering both left and right rides, which is great for beginners and more experienced surfers alike. The preferred wind direction is from the Northeast, and you'll find it works well at all tide levels—low, mid, or high.

While you're out there, keep an eye out for scattered rocks, especially at the northern end of El Almejal. There are a few local surf camps if you're looking for a place to stay, and you can find rental boards if you didn’t bring your own. El Valle has something for everyone, but it might not blow you away. Just be prepared and enjoy your session!
