Surf: On Santa Cruz island, 1.5hr sail west of the largest population centre at Puerto Ayora, will anchor you by the solid lefthander at Palmas Grandes. This coast relies on S-SW swells and Palmas seems to receive and handle more size than other islands, with big drops into a longish, squared-off wall. There are 3 more left line-ups within sight and plenty more exploration potential to the north. Directions: Boat access only Environment: Keep an eye on the sea-lions.
