Playa La Punta

Reviewed 23 Oct 2026 · not observation-validated

Published sources reviewed by SWELLRADAR, not validation against measured breaking waves. Swell-from references are qualitative ranking inputs, not surveyed optima or complete acceptance windows. The inherited generic 0.6–3.0 m offshore-model band remains unchanged and unvalidated: not a measured local working range, safe learner range or wave-face conversion. Original approximate map pins and location references remain. Explicit sea requests do not survey takeoffs, bottom clearance, sandbars, currents, entry routes or provider-snapped cells. Surfmarket's original Los Caracas guide specifies N/NE swell, independent S/SE/E wind references, a longer right and shorter left, rock bottom and an explicit Intermediate-not-beginner qualification. NNE is the coarse centre of the published swell sector, and S is an independently reported wind reference. Surf-Forecast corroborates NNE swell, S wind and partial east-wind shelter, but its rounded location is roughly six kilometres west of this marker; its pin is not used to relocate the point or select a marine cell. Shelter is not a guarantee for every wind strength. The full tide listing establishes no preferred phase, movement or safe rock clearance, so tide scoring stays unverified with no bonuses or adaptive fallback. Historical descriptions do not verify present access, currents, crowd or rescue staffing.

• Surfmarket · original Punta de Los Caracas guide

  Original guide describes rock-bottom right and shorter left, N/NE swell, independent S/SE/E wind context and explicit experienced-Intermediate eligibility rather than beginners

• Surf-Forecast · original La Punta de Las Caracas guide

  Original guide corroborates NNE swell, S wind, partial easterly shelter and rocks; its approximate western pin is not transferred to the retained location
