Cruz Roja

Cruz Roja is a beach break, usually breaking in the 0.5–2.5m range, and how suitable it is for beginners really depends on the size and power on the day — not a fixed label. Set the level to Beginner above and WaveCheck flags the smaller, cleaner hours worth paddling out for.

Different days call for different boards. Cruz Roja can get sizeable, so a shortboard comes into its own on bigger days, while a longboard still works when it drops small. Tap through the boards above to see the live score for whatever you'll be riding.

Look for 0.5–2.5m of swell from the S with light offshore winds from the NW. The 5-day forecast above scores every hour, so you can spot the window at a glance.
