Mompiche Point

Esmeraldas, Ecuador
🪨Rocks🌀Strong rips

Mompiche is one of Ecuador's premier waves - a long, tubular left point that peels for 300+ meters on good days. Set in a lush jungle village, the wave fires during the December-April NW swell season, producing powerful, hollow walls that draw traveling surfers from around the world.
