Punta Miramar
Punta Miramar is Argentina's best right-hand point break—a quality wave in a country better known for flat pampas than surf spots. Located near the beach resort city of Mar del Plata, this rocky point catches South Atlantic swells and produces long, workable walls that reward patient positioning and smooth rail surfing. The water is cold year-round, and the scene is distinctly Argentine—think asado on the beach and mate shared between sessions. For South American surf explorers, Miramar offers proof that quality waves exist far beyond the continent's tropical zones.
