Surf: If Mancora is small or the swell is from the SW-W, a walk of about 5 min to the south will reveal Punta Ballenas, a left point that picks up a bit more swell. It’s usually a messy, sectiony wave and will close-out if the swell is from the NW or the tide is too low, but it’s much faster and hollower than the main point. Environment: Not as consistent or crowded as Mancora, because it is for intermediates to advanced surfers and the sharp rocks are very unforgiving and close to the surface.
