Surf Montañita

Montañita - Ecuador Montañita features a right-point break with sandy and rocky bottom, offering consistent waves ideal for various skill levels. The wave works best at low and mid tide, with rising and falling tides providing optimal conditions. The inside peak is preferred for longer, cleaner rides, while low tide can produce ledgy barrels on all swells. This vibrant surf town is a hub for both local and international surfers, known for its lively atmosphere and unique phallic-shaped rock. Montañita is perfect for those looking to enjoy a mix of beach culture and nightlife. For beginners, the adjacent beachbreak offers a good alternative, with numerous surf schools available. However, be prepared for punchy conditions. Patience is essential at the main point due to local dynamics, but picking off in-betweeners can yield enjoyable sessions without the hassle of crowded sets. Access is straightforward via bus from Guayaquil, making it an easily reachable surf destination.
