Located in Northern Ecuador, La Mesita is a quality left-hand point break that offers a long, rippable wall. The waves here are easy to surf and break for up to 200 metres (656 feet) over a rock and sand bottom. The remote nature of the break keeps the crowd away.
What are the best surf conditions for La Mesita?
La Mesita gets good between chest high and double overhead. We recommend riding a longboard when smaller and a shortboard and then a step up as the size picks up. This break is suitable for intermediate and advanced-level surfers. The surf here is not the most consistent (4/10) and will generally be uncrowded (3/10). The best winds are from the east. The best swells are from the northwest, west, and southwest. La Mesita works on all tides.
We recommend wearing boardshorts or a bikini year-round. Water temperatures range between 25°C (77°F) and 27°C (81°F). See the temperature chart below for more data on this.
