About This Spot
Monte Hermoso is a beach break located on Argentina's Atlantic coast facing south toward open ocean. The spot features a sandy beach backed by residential development, with notable pier structures visible in the nearshore zone. The beach break offers small, consistent waves averaging 0.87m in rough-chop conditions typical of this region. Best conditions occur with easterly winds (90°) that provide side-shore flow parallel to the coast. The spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters seeking smaller wave training, though wind reliability is modest at only 20.1% annually. Water temperatures average 16.4°C, requiring appropriate thermal protection. The visible pier infrastructure indicates this is an accessible, developed spot with potential services nearby. Kiters should exercise caution regarding the nearshore pilings and debris-laden beach conditions. The moderate wind consistency means sessions require patience and careful timing. Entry and exit points should be selected carefully to avoid shallow debris fields.
Hazards & Safety
Pier pilings visible in nearshore zone
Shallow water with rough chop conditions
Low wind reliability (20.1%) limits session frequency
Potential for variable currents near pier structures
