Playa Herradura

Intermediate Reef break Rock bottom Peels right 0.6–2.4 m Any tide

A reef point west of Havana's Malecón that catches north and northeast swell with long, workable rights. The heart of Havana's surf scene: borrowed boards, Cuban ingenuity and a wave that works when cold fronts sweep the Gulf.
