Right reef off the small island and causeway in the middle of Punta Hermosa, with a softer left that peels toward the beach. It works on SW to S swell from about 1 m to 3 m at any tide with an east to southeast wind, and it is consistent enough to be packed at weekends. Paddle out through the channel in the middle of the bay, or walk to the causeway and go in off its narrowest part.
