One of Ecuador's best waves, Mompiche is all about long tubular rides in perfect scenery. This left pointbreak starts with a barreling first section before reeling over a sharp rock ledge and is well protected from the wind. Despite the long walk the wave is popular with surfers from Bahía de Caráquez and Atacames. These locals are usually friendly, but be respectful! NW and W swells work best but it has been surfed on strong SW 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.
