Playa La Ballena Paddleboard Forecast

Playa La Ballena scores 77/100 for paddleboard today at its best ability level (expert). The beach faces SW. A very small, sheltered volcanic-sand cove with sections of large boulders and pebbles near the waterline — water shoes advised. Wave action is negligible, so surfing isn't viable. A designated scuba diving area and snorkelling suit the calm, shallow water, though summer seaweed can foul swimming. No lifeguards are present. A riptide is noted as a hazard despite the generally calm appearance, so caution is warranted.
