La Barrita is a surf spot located near the coast, known for its sandy bottom and jetties that help create waves. It’s a decent place to catch some surf, especially during late spring and summer when the waves tend to be more consistent. The nearby Marina del Sur beach is also worth checking out for its classic peaks, particularly with the right swell angle and during incoming tides.

The waves at La Barrita generally work best with a south-west swell direction, but it can pick up swells from the south-east as well. They handle sizes starting from about 2 feet (0.6 meters) and can offer both left and right breaks. The ideal conditions come when the wind is blowing from the north, and the tide is at mid to high levels. Keep in mind that this spot is more suited for intermediate surfers, so be prepared to paddle a bit.

In terms of crowd levels, La Barrita scores a 4 out of 10, meaning it won't be too packed most of the time. Consistency is rated at a 5 out of 10, so you might find some average days, but when it’s good, it can be a nice session. Just remember to check the conditions beforehand to make the most out of your visit.
