YouTubeWatch on YouTube CustomizeCustomize this spot

Yacht Club is Mar del Plata's quality right-hand point, offering protection from the cold S winds that plague the region in winter. The wave breaks along a rocky headland near the famous yacht club, producing longer rides than the nearby beach breaks. Cold water and offshore winds make it challenging but rewarding.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tide is best at Yacht Club?

The Yacht Club profile favors mid to high tide. Compare this preference with the forecast tide and local conditions before choosing a session.

What wind direction is offshore at Yacht Club?

The Yacht Club profile uses wind from S (180°) as its preferred direction, with an offshore range of 135° to 225°. Wind speed matters too: light winds outside that range can still produce surfable conditions, while strong offshore winds can make takeoffs difficult.

What swell size and direction work best at Yacht Club?

The Yacht Club scoring profile favors swell from SSE (135° to 200°), a swell-height range of 0.9m to 2.5m, and a reference period of 14s. These are model inputs, not guaranteed breaking-wave heights or a promise that the surf will suit every ability.
