La Punta (Cabo Huertas)

La Punta (Cabo Huertas) is an exposed rocky point/reef break on the Cabo de las Huertas cape, with a bottom dominated by reef and hazards including sharp rocks and sea urchins. Sources consistently emphasize that the entry and exit are difficult and that you should be prepared for slippery, rocky sections. For surfing, the spot works best on low tide with an East to Northeast (Levante) swell, producing point-break peeling waves. When conditions line up, riders can get long, peeling rights with good-to-moderate wave power. Some sources describe the wave as right-hand; another describes left-hand, so direction can vary with swell wrap and setup. Wind/conditions matter: West or Northwest winds are described as providing clean, offshore conditions, while winter is flagged as a favored season for surf. Wind is typically reported in the 10–20 knots range, with reliability tied to specific storm patterns. Safety planning is important here: there are no lifeguards reported and rescue availability is noted as none. Local guidance highlights using booties, checking the entry point carefully (including entering south of the main peak), and respecting other surfers’ priority at the peak.
