El Lloret
Edit SpotAbout
The exit, in this spot is very dangerous.Lloret, this spot is truly worth surfing if you hit it at the right time. I´ve surfed some better waves here then Playa Negra, Costa. Starts breaking later september early october through the winter months. Fairly constant, 12 to 16 days out of the month normally with about three epic. Only one flaw due to the trade winds Lloret is constantly hit with an onshore wind not to worry the wave still puts up a fun ride. Swells hit a subwater shelf (consisting mainly of rounded rocks) then break making and nice steep long right ending in the channel. New Surfers must show respect to the locals, there law mainly states that you are not allowed to catch a wave unless they let you, I said ok when they told me but then kept on riding regardless. Small kuts a commen on feet from walking out of water. Falling on waves is not too dangeroius. I try not to worry too much. Getting in you have to be careful about the current, not an ordanary current one of the strongest I have ever faced. I suggest just watching otehr people get in. That´s it. Enjoy
