Surf Pelado

Pelado - Ecuador Pelado is a right-point break featuring a sandy bottom interspersed with rocks. The waves are known for being hollow, fast, and fun, making it a favorite among local surfers. It works best during low to mid tide, particularly on a rising tide, with optimal conditions arising from swells coming from the west, southwest, or south, and winds from the southeast or east. Located near Guayaquil, Pelado can get crowded on weekends and holidays, attracting around 10-20 surfers, but weekdays often offer uncrowded sessions. Access is straightforward; from Playas, take the road to Engabao, and park at the beach's end. Respect local customs and ensure your vehicle is secure if parked outside a private lot. While Pelado is generally friendly, be cautious of rocks in the water. This classic surf spot is ideal for those seeking quality waves without the hassle of localism.
