Punta Quidico surf guide

Punta Quidico is located about 120 km (75 mi) south and is known for its long rivermouth lefts that break below a small lighthouse. The waves can be long, tubular, and fun to ride. While the river flow can sometimes disrupt the banks, there are usually some lefts breaking near the tall headland. This spot is more popular during the summer months, turning into a quiet escape in the winter.

The optimal swell direction here is SouthWest, although the waves can also pick up from the South and West. Punta Quidico works well with swell sizes around 2 ft (0.6 m), providing decent conditions for intermediate surfers. The waves break over sand, primarily as rivermouth breaks. Lefts are the consistent wave direction you can expect, making it a nice option for those who prefer this type of ride. Wind coming from the south is preferred, and you can catch good waves at low, mid, or high tide.

Overall, Punta Quidico offers a solid surf experience when conditions align. It requires some understanding of the river's influence on the break, but with the right swell and wind, you'll find enjoyable waves waiting for you.
