Cordoama
Edit SpotAbout
The quality of the water is very clear and nice to surf, one problem however is the water temprature..it´s freezing all year round. I just got back from surfing it in mid August and you definatley need a 3/2 steamer summer, winter i´d say all the gear cap, booties, gloves etc otherwise you will freeze before you take your first wave. This beachie doesn´t harbour as many boogie boarders as other local beaches and i hear there are presently 2 good banks there, an inside bank and an outer one for bigger days. There is a good cafe/bar on the beach also which is quite nice for a beer after ... SUPER BOK !!!! A couple of bikinis on the beach to boost the views, and if you are game, a nude hangout spot further down the beach.
Additional Info:
During the summer months if there is a good swell, get there early, as the car park fills up pretty quick and you may find yourself parking way up on the road.
