What are the best surf conditions for Populo?
Gets good between waist-high and double overhead. We recommend riding a longboard if smaller and a shortboard as the size picks up. This break is suitable for all levels of surfer. The surf here is consistent (7/10) and will get quite crowded (8/10). The best winds are from the North. The best swells are from the South, Southeast, and Southwest. Works on all tides.
