La Paloma is a surf spot located below the rocky cliffs of Los Alcantillados. It’s known for its challenging waves that cater to advanced surfers. The area can have a rugged feel, and accessing the spot involves navigating a cliff goat path, so it's not exactly an easy trek. This spot is better suited for those who are comfortable with the terrain and the surf conditions.

The waves at La Paloma work best with a Southeast swell, but you can also catch rides with waves coming from the East and South. It handles swell sizes starting from 3ft (about 0.9 meters), and the breaks occur over an uneven reef as well as some sand. The wave types here are mainly reef breaks, with both left and right hand waves available. It's worth noting that the optimal wind direction is from the Northwest, and the conditions are best during low to mid tide. Expect powerful barrels, but be cautious, as the shifting peaks can lead to getting stuck inside the wave quite easily, making it a spot where expert surfers will find their challenge.

When hitting La Paloma, it's important to remember that this is a spot for experienced surfers only. You’ll need to be on your game to navigate both the waves and the rocky surroundings. If you're comfortable with the conditions, you might find some rewarding rides here, but it’s definitely not for the faint of heart.
