Montaņita itself is Ecuador's main surf break and is identified by a phallic shaped rock. It catches any N and S swells, holding up to 10ft (3m) sets and it's a juicy right even when it's only 2ft (0.5m). This world class wave is usually crowded and has become something of a surf centre where it's possible to get cheap, decent accommodation.

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.
