Punta de Guiria

Punta de Guiria is a remote sandy beach break on the Paria Peninsula area (near Pozo Colorado) that’s described as fairly consistent for surfing, including small to small/medium waves. Multiple sources emphasize that it can work well with north-east swell starting around 0.3 m, while surf conditions are reported to be cleanest when the wind blows from the south. For timing, surf-forecast data highlights September as the best month, including a relatively high blown percentage (68%) alongside notes that September delivers the most favorable consistency. Separately, another source points to January, February, and March as the most consistent period, so planning around the shoulder/dry-season pattern can be worthwhile depending on your swell expectations. Conditions are generally suited to beginner sessions: the ride is described as short with soft, mushy waves and average-to-moderate wave quality. The spot uses an all-tides approach, and the launch is characterized as easy with small shore break. Safety is a key consideration here. Sharks are specifically flagged as a hazard, and the area is remote with limited lifeguard presence and limited formal rescue availability. Because facilities are sparse, visitors should plan to bring the necessary supplies and be self-sufficient during the session.
