EL muelle

Edit Spot
About

One of the best waves of the Caribbean Region of Colombia....in the right day you could fing long peeling waves and deep barrels.

Atmosphere:
Doesn't get really crowded and the worst crowd will be like 15 surfers in the line up. Watch out for the fishermen cause there are lines all over the line up. BE careful. The local vibe is really mellow and they'll be stocked to see a traveler surfer specially if you rip.

Additional Info:
Very nice wave when everything else is out of control. The pier works like a filter for strong winds and currents. Usually the swell comes from a N to Ne direction what makes the wave to break on the left side of the pier. Do not try to surf on the right side unless there is a NW or W swell.
The stronger the winds the better it gets!
