Los Acantilados

Los Acantilados is a beach break located on Argentina's Atlantic coast near Mar del Plata, facing northeast into the South Atlantic. The spot features a wide sandy beach with visible sandbars and rip current patterns, backed by a developed residential area. Wave conditions average 1.27m with consistent swell exposure, while wind reliability remains relatively low at 8.9%, suggesting variable conditions. The beach break structure creates peaky, hollow waves suitable for intermediate riders with good wave knowledge. Best conditions occur with northwest to north winds providing side-shore coverage. The spot requires awareness of shallow sandbars that shift seasonally and strong rip currents visible in the sand patterns. Water temperatures around 14.6°C demand appropriate thermal protection. Local knowledge of bar positions and current patterns is essential. The accessibility and proximity to town infrastructure make this a convenient option, though conditions demand respect for water safety protocols and awareness of variable wind patterns typical of the region.
