The Wave
Bodyboarders like the close-out sections, but surfers still get useful intermediates here when the swell lines up.
The spot sits on the way to Cuyagua and is known for wedgy lefts and rights, especially near La Punta on the west side.

El Playon
El Playon is a sheltered rivermouth-style break near Ocumare de la Costa with lefts and rights over sand. It likes north swell and south-southwest offshore wind, and it can throw fun but dumpy waves through the full tide cycle. The west side near La Punta and the rock jetties is the place to watch when it is working. Get the latest surfing conditions, forecast, and tide details for El Playon in Central Venezuela.
