Los Caballos (Suances)

Los Caballos (Suances) is a powerful reef break at the base of steep cliffs, reached via a dirt track followed by a short slippery cliff descent. The spot is best when a NW swell lines up with south through northeast winds, and it typically performs on low to mid tide (rising tide also noted as workable). The main feature is a strong left-hand wave, with additional right-hand energy depending on swell and connection. Wave quality is described as good, with the break capable of holding from around 1.5–2 meters up to about 3 meters (and beyond in bigger conditions). Ride lengths are commonly in the 50–150 meter range, and the primary left can run for very long distances through to the inside. Overall, it’s presented as a high-performance reef setup rather than a forgiving beach break. Safety considerations are significant. The reef and rocks create underwater hazards, and currents/rips can affect wave quality—especially once the swell rises above roughly six feet, when the bay can become busy with moving water. Access itself is a major factor: the approach and the cliff path can be slippery when wet, and the spot is not suitable for beginners. From a wind perspective, the most workable directions are south, south-east, east, and north-east, though wind reliability is described as low and can be affected by the cliff terrain. Conditions that combine NW swell with south/south-east (often offshore/cleaner) are emphasized for the best shape.
