About

Probably one of the the best left point break in all Ecuador, including Galapagos. And there is no danger but few hammerheads who live right on the rocks point. And few Bull Sharks and Galapagos sharks which now & then my have a taste of legs and a leash. I heard they like leashes like we like noodles...!
No pain no gain dudes!
Keep it soul and you may not have troubles..

Atmosphere:
Mompiche is a rapidly growing town since they opnened up the road. You have 5 or so places to saty, mostly budget. On the Dec- Mar season, the point is long and powerful and you need strong legs if you want to really surf it well. So do your work out and get strong legs and stomach. Otherwise, just get out and watch...and learn..

Additional Info:
Long left point break with some nice tubes, only when you have the right conditions. Might be flat as a pool so check the Web. Best time in the year from Dec to Mar...crowded on holydays, you find locals every day when the point is good...Nice people, but show respect!

Location

Access

Mompiche is located in the southermost part of the Esmeraldas province. To get there you have to take a bus to Atacames (crowded beach...just escape from there) and take a regional bus headed directly to Mompiche or going south to Manabí....If you are coming from the south through Pedernales, or in a bus going south form Atacames, ask the driver to leave you on the entrance of the road to Mompiche. Just wait and you´ll get a ride or a bus will pass...or take a long walk. Do not go through Muisne as we use to do before there was a road...it is a nice ride through what´s left of mangrooves, but it is expensive
