Punta Sur

Punta Sur is a reef break at the southern tip of San Andrés Island best suited for intermediate to advanced surfers. It produces the largest and most powerful waves on the island, and sits near a natural formation called Hoyo Soplador. The break is most active during the winter season from December through February when trade winds push Caribbean swells toward the island, though waves appear throughout the year. Specific information about tide effects, optimal swell direction, or wind preference is not well documented.

Access to Punta Sur is straightforward—a short taxi or vehicle ride from the island's main town puts surfers at the beach, where paid parking is available at the entrance. San Andrés has developed no significant competitive surfing scene or documented surf history, meaning lineups remain uncrowded but the break lacks the established reference points of more renowned destinations.
