Playa Ausuchillas is a surf spot located within the Gran Pacifica Resort area. It's known for being a good place for surfers of all levels, especially on smaller days. The beach is spacious, which means you won't feel too crowded, even with the local surfers around. You do need to pay an entrance fee to access the area, but it’s usually worth it for the vibe and space.
The spot handles swells from the south and west, making it pretty versatile. You can catch waves as small as 1 ft. (0.3 m) here, and it’s reliable for smaller, peaky days. The waves break over sand, offering both left and right rides. The best times to surf are at low to mid tide, especially when the swell is coming in. If it gets bigger, the waves can turn challenging, with some barreling sections that might not be for the faint-hearted. Beginners will find it approachable on smaller days, but skills will be tested when the swell picks up.
When you plan your session, keep in mind that an east wind works best for the waves. The overall environment is laid-back, allowing for a chill day of surfing. The local surfers are usually friendly, and there’s plenty of space to spread out along the beach, so you can find your own spot to enjoy the waves.
