Wave quality varies significantly with conditions:<br /> <br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;December–April (wet season / swell season)&#039;&#039;&#039;: The largest and best waves. Consistent SW ground swell produces well-shaped beach break waves 1–3m (3–10 ft). This is when Montañita hosts competitions.<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;May–November (dry season)&#039;&#039;&#039;: Smaller, less powerful conditions more suited to beginners and intermediate surfers. Wind swell only; cleaner mornings before the sea breeze builds.<br /> <br /> == The Lineup ==<br /> <br /> The main break in front of the village is the busiest. At peak times (December–March weekends), the water fills with surfers of all levels. The break can be powerful and fast — intermediate to advanced surfers make the most of it.<br /> <br /> Beginners should take lessons at the south end of the beach where conditions are gentler — see [[Surfing Lessons]].<br /> <br /> == Facilities ==<br /> <br /> * Multiple surf schools line the beachfront offering [[Surfing Lessons|lessons]] and board rentals<br /> * Board repair shops in the village<br /> * Showers at some beachfront hostels (available to non-guests for a small fee)<br /> * The famous Montañita party scene starts after surf sessions end<br /> <br /> == Hazards ==<br /> <br /> * Powerful shorebreak at high tide can catch out beginners<br /> * Crowded lineups in peak season<br /> * Rock reef at the northern end of the break (near the point) — be aware of position<br /> <br /> == See Also ==<br /> * [[Montañita Point]]<br /> * [[Surfing]]<br /> * [[Surfing Lessons]]<br /> * [[Montañita]]<br /> * [[Peak Surf Season]]<br /> * [[Portal:Sports in La Peninsula]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Surfing]]<br /> [[Category:Sports]]<br /> [[Category:Montañita]]<br /> [[Category:La Peninsula]]</div>
