Punta Galera surf guide

Punta Galera is a surf spot that often gets overlooked, but it has its moments. It's located in a beautiful area where you can enjoy some decent waves. The access to the spot can be a bit tedious, which helps keep the crowd levels down, so if you find yourself here, you might just have some waves to yourself. It's a good idea to check it out in the mornings, especially when a strong NW or W swell rolls in.

This spot works best with a Northwest swell and can handle sizes around 3 ft (about 1 meter). The waves break over an uneven reef and sometimes sand, offering a mix of point breaks. You'll mostly find lefts here, which can be fun for intermediate surfers looking to challenge themselves. The wind is best from the south, and the conditions can be decent at low, mid, and high tide, although it may be a bit unpredictable since the waves can get a little all over the place.

If you're up for it, Punta Galera can provide a unique experience on the right day. Since the access isn't the easiest, you're more likely to enjoy a less crowded vibe, making it a good spot to practice your skills. Just remember to check the swell direction and conditions before heading out!
