La Derecha is one of the more consistent surf spots in Encuentro. It features long, walling right-hand waves that break over an uneven reef. This spot also offers the occasional left, making it a decent option for surfers who like a bit of variety. It can handle all tide levels and is known for working well in different swells, making it a reliable choice for a surf session. However, it can get pretty crowded, especially since it's popular with locals and beginners.

The optimal swell direction for La Derecha is from the NorthEast, which offers the best rights. You can also find more lefts when the swell comes from the NorthWest. The spot can handle swell sizes starting from about 2 feet (0.6 meters), so it’s suitable for intermediate surfers looking to challenge themselves. With the right conditions, you can expect some fun sessions here, especially when the tide is low, mid, or high. A SouthWest wind is preferable to keep the waves clean and glassy.

Due to its popularity, beginners often have to move further down to Bobo's to find more suitable waves for their skill level. If you're an intermediate surfer, you'll find La Derecha a solid spot to hone your skills, but be prepared to share the wave with others.
