La Ola Perfecta, the Search
A right at the end of a dirt road in Oaxaca. Barra de la Cruz is La Ola Perfecta, the point the Rip Curl Search found when they needed a wave without a name on the map. The village is small. The walk from town is part of the session.
When.
April to October
South swell through the Mexican summer. The point needs a real pulse to link.
Worth knowing.
- 1. The point is a walk or a short drive past the village gate. You will see the wrap before you wax up.
- 2. South swell season is why people come. A small day is still a fun point, not the poster.
- 3. This is a small town. Bring what you need. The next town is not next door.
- 4. Respect the gate and the village. You are a guest on a working coast.
Go.
Before you paddle.
- 1. Check local conditions before entering
- 2. Always surf with a buddy
- 3. Know your limits and skill level
- 4. Watch for rip currents
- 5. Respect local surfers and rules
