Description
Capaes - Ecuador
Capaes features a powerful left point break with a sandy bottom interspersed with rocks. The waves are known for being hollow and fast, providing excellent barrel opportunities. Access requires a short walk of 5-15 minutes, and the spot is publicly accessible.
The atmosphere at Capaes is ideal for surfers who are familiar with the wave's characteristics, as strong currents can be present. It works best during low and mid tides, with optimal conditions when the swell comes from the north, northwest, or west, and winds from the north, northwest, west, or southwest. The crowd is typically sparse during the week, with only a few surfers on weekends, making it a great spot for those seeking less crowded waves. However, caution is advised due to the presence of rocks.
