Nalvo surf guide

Nalvo is a surf spot located near Santa Maria, offering a mix of reef and beachbreak waves suitable for various surfers. This area is generally less crowded than the spots south of Darigayos Point, particularly around the winter surf region of San Juan. The sandy stretch is about 40 km (25 mi) long, providing plenty of options for finding your perfect wave.

The best waves at Nalvo come from the SouthWest, but it can also handle swells from the North. Swell sizes work well here when they're around 2 ft (0.6 m), making it a friendly spot for beginners. The breaks usually occur over dead coral, with both left and right wave directions available. You'll find the surf is mellow, which makes it ideal for those just starting out, but be aware that conditions can vary with the tide. It’s good to note that Nalvo handles low, mid, and high tide, so you can catch some quality waves anytime.

If you're planning a surf session here, the best winds come from the East, which can help shape the waves just right. With about 15 identified surfing spots up and down the coast to San Fernando, Nalvo provides a solid choice for those looking to enjoy a session without too much hassle.
