On the north coast of the Santa Elena peninsula, just before Ballenita at the start of the Ruta del Sol, a craggy reef point peels both ways: bowly lefts and more open rights. NW to N swells from December to April light it up, with a SE wind offshore. Big rocks sit in the lineup, so surf it from mid to high tide; the oil refinery next door can affect the water.
