Puerto Azul
Puerto Azul is an unusual Venezuelan surf spot that faces southwest, picking up swell from a completely different direction than the country's typical N-NE facing breaks. When the trade swell spots are flat, Puerto Azul can have waves—making it a handy alternative for Caracas surfers. The sandy bottom and gentle waves suit beginners and longboarders.
