Cruz Roja faces S. Which swells reach it — and therefore whether there is anything worth riding — depends on that aspect more than on the open-ocean forecast height.
Today's wind is cross-shore at 6 kn. Straight cross-shore sits between the two for surfing — the face stays rideable but the wall is less organised than on a clean offshore.
Over the published window Cruz Roja clears 60/100 for surfing at Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced levels — that is who this spot is for on this sport. Today, 12 of 12 daylight hours clear that line at Intermediate.
Among the 27 scored spots within reach today, Cruz Roja ranks 7th for surfing. The order changes by discipline: the same conditions that put a spot top for one sport can drop it down the list for another.
A sand-bottomed beach break on a peninsula's southeast tip, with a shifting sandbank producing right-hand waves. Best November-April on south/southeast swell with northwesterly offshore wind; summer is typically flat for surfing but suits windsurfing and kitesurfing in trade winds. Low-to-mid tide is best, with rip currents and undertow in the curved sections. Five lifeguard towers cover the beach. An adjacent salt-marsh lagoon is a protected area.
