El Cabo Corrientes Surf Guide
For a long time, some considered this as one of the best and longest right pointbreaks in this region, if not all Latin America. But the construction of a pier right in the path of the wave, to protect the small harbor, enormously affected the wave's quality.Still, when hit with the right conditions, this wave has great potential. It now breaks on the outside of the pier and through the entry to the harbor. It is very easy to access the wave directly at the point. When 6-foot southeast swells reach Mar del Plata, this wave offers long sections ideal to practice your cutbacks. Easy to surf, even beginners have fun out here.
