The Wave

South swell is the useful line, north-northwest wind is the clean side, and the spot stays challenging on bigger pulses; access is via the Santa Marta coast rather than a town-front beach.

Low to mid tide is the cleaner window, while fuller water still keeps the break active on a bigger pulse.
