Just as hard to reach, Estero del Plátano has a good reputation among surfers of northern Ecuador. What appears to be a beachbreak ultimately breaks over reef since the sand is covering a good rock set-up. Waves regularly barrel thanks to typically offshore winds in the morning. It needs NW, or very strong W swells.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
