La Punta Zicatela

Also known as La Punta

Intermediate Point break Sand bottom Peels right 0.7–3 m Any tide

The mellower south end of the Puerto Escondido beachbreak: a long, wrapping right point over sand that turns south swell into racy, fun walls. The intermediate answer to Zicatela's Mex-Pipe intensity, with a thriving surf-town scene behind it.
