Comasagua Point (Costa del Balsamo)

Comasagua Point is an exposed beach-and-point break off Puerto de La Libertad, offering a right-hand point break plus an additional beach-break option. While it can provide a more relaxed option than the area’s best-known icons, wave reliability is described as inconsistent—so it tends to work best when you have a solid, clean swell to carry the point. Wind at the spot is influenced by daily sea-breeze patterns, and offshore flow from the north can help groom waves. In the mornings and early part of the day, conditions are often described as cleaner, while afternoon sea-breeze influence can increase chop. A key practical takeaway is that wind quality and swell cleanliness matter as much as raw swell size. For surfing, the working swell direction is described as south to southwest, with an optimal swell height around 1.0–2.5 meters. The break is described as peeling with average wave quality and an overall moderate wave power, producing medium ride lengths. The optimal tide is reported as mid. Safety-wise, expect rocks at the point and hazards near the river mouth: moderate rip currents can occur and debris may be present after heavy rain. Water visibility can also drop during rainy periods due to sediment runoff. Local guidance emphasizes avoiding sessions immediately after heavy rainfall, and bringing your own gear since rental availability at/near the spot itself is reported as limited.
