The Guinness Book of Records certifies Las Islitas as the longest wave in the world, covering 5,700ft (2250m), as it wraps into Matanchen Bay. It's a mellow wall with occasional tubing sections and if you can still feel your legs at the end, make the long walk back to the point. Unfortunately new constructions mean it hardly ever breaks and only a huge S swell will do, along with a very long board.

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.
