Juan Tornillo is located just 5km north of Cabo Corientes. It’s a west-facing beach that catches a good amount of southwest and west swells, making it worth checking out when the conditions are right. Expect a decent spot for surfing but be prepared for a bit of a trip, since you can only access it by boat.

The surf here is best when the swell comes from the southwest. It can handle wave sizes starting from 2ft (about 0.6m) and works over both rock ledges and sandy areas. You’ll find lefts and rights here, catering to different styles. The wind works best from the east, and you can surf at low, mid, and high tides. This spot is generally suitable for intermediate surfers, so be comfortable on your board before heading out.

The journey to Juan Tornillo involves a long boat ride from nearby hotels, so plan your trip accordingly. It’s a good idea to check the local conditions and pack the right gear for the day.
