Waves of Isabela

1 “El Low of the Wharf:

It is a rock wave located to the front of the first beach of Pto. Villamil. In order to arrive at this point you need to row about a 7-9 minutes.

This wave works when a moderate or strong surge enters, preferably South.
It is a right with drop smooth in the point, but after about a 5-6 meters to run it the wall it is put or vertical and if it is of good size and with headwind or without wind it forms a likeable tubito.

Its route is of about 50 – 70 meters depending on as he is swell, can arrive both at meters of height, if he is great. It is run with average and high tide. It is necessary to have precaution with rocks.

2 “Bajo Choro”:

It is a tip located to the front of the viewpoint, to arrive at this place you need between 7 – 10 minutes rowing. He is recommendable to surfear in average and high tide, to be safe from rocks. You can run towards the right or the left. Preferably we run right because the wall is longer and gives more opportunity.

The left breaks enough express, is shorter and dangerous by the situation of rocks, it forms a small tube but its wall dies fast.

“Bajo Choro” one falls in love when there is a good surge of South preference. It can arrive at meters and means both if he is great. The right has three sections, if is taken hold it from the breaking point and is good, been possible to tubear, is necessary to have experience in rock wave because a fall in point or the first meters of the first section can be dangerous by the force of the wave and lava rocks covered with sharp shells.

If the sea is good, this wave is quite fast and is necessary to have well-taken care of not to be catched in the turn since “licuadora” it catches to you and it makes give “lava tour” you; and “Bajo Choro” some article will be in charge of quitarte... can be a piece of skin.

3 “El Hospital”:

It is located in front of the houses of the personnel of Subcentro de Salud. It is a tip that weapon in high tide when there is a good surge. You can run right or left, if he is great can arrive almost both at meters. It is the wave nearest the population.

With surges of the south enough good works. He is recommendable to have well-taken care of in the tip, because the bottom is rococoso and if he is medium or great some experience is needed to lower it.

4 “El Faro”:

It is a beach wave, works very well with sures. This wave presents/displays diverse conditions during the year. You can run right and left without danger some because the bottom is of sand.

Here we have found “el faro” with all a range of conditions: from waves of 30 cm. without wind; tips disordered, with headwind until with a perfect meter and means, constant and ordered turns.

With a strong surge the wave reaches both to meters of height. It is possible to be run in all tide.

In order to arrive at this site you can walk by the beach of 15’ – 20’ from Pto. Villamil or also you can look for the moving body “Papita” who will take you by a dollar to the place of surf.

5 “Punta Macabra”:

This wave is located to the aim of the beach, in front of the cemetery. It receives east name because in the months of February and March of 1998 in the “Fenómeno of the Niño”, the gray-black of the sky, rain, the thunderclaps and the lightning, emphasized the burial target of the crossings of the cemetery that could be observed with total clarity from “point”.

It is a right that works when the sea is medium or great, but of great preference. It can arrive at the three meters, the slope is quite good but soon the wall tends to put “chancha”. Anyway if it is between average meter and and two meters are a good wave to enjoy it to the maximum.

If he is great it advises to have well-taken care of in “inside” then the bottom is of a lava platform and bursts with enough violence. With a good size and headwind or without wind it votes good tubes right where it breaks the wave.
