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. 1. The point is a walk or a short drive past the village gate. You will see the wrap before you wax up.
  2. 2. South swell season is why people come. A small day is still a fun point, not the poster.
  3. 3. This is a small town. Bring what you need. The next town is not next door.
  4. 4. Respect the gate and the village. You are a guest on a working coast.

Go.
