Cerro Azul is an ancient fishing village. It is a very cozy place and we recommend you to visit for a few days.

How to get there:
You have to take the Panamaricana highway south. The village is at the 132 km, you will see the signs indicating the place. Turn right into the village and cross the village towards the sea. Then turn left and go to the south of the quay. From there you will see the point. It start in the rocks, some people says it has the shape of an eagle. That is the starting point of the lefthander breaks. This wave is pretty famous because it is quoted in The Beach Boys song, Surfing´ Safari.

The waves:
It is a perfect left point break. It starts at the rocks and could go over the the end of the quay with approximately 300 meters of riding. It recommended for low tide conditions. It an ideal wave for longboarders. When it receives a big swell it can start before the rocks and connect after the quay. It can reach the 2 meters (6 to 7 feets).

On the right side of the quay, sometimes you can enjoy a right tubular wave. Is shorter and not that consistent.
