Las Islitas in Matanchen Bay holds the Guinness World Record for the world's longest rideable wave at 5,700 feet. When conditions align—typically needing a large, long-period south swell—the wave can connect through multiple points for rides lasting several minutes. While jetty construction has altered the wave somewhat, it still offers the potential for extraordinarily long rides on the right day. The wave is mellow and forgiving, making those marathon rides accessible to surfers of various skill levels.
