Surf day by boat
A reef we don’t name. A private white-sand beach, an A-frame over reef, and the only way in is by boat.

The day
Empty on purpose.
The surf day runs on the Great Marlin out of Herradura to a private white-sand beach with an A-frame reef wave. The beach is private, so the public can’t walk in: the only way to the wave is by boat, which is the whole point.
We anchor off the reef, you throw your board over the side and jump in after it. Between sessions the boat is your base: shade, food, a cold drink, and turtles under the hull.
We don’t print the wave’s name. “A reef we don’t name” is the trip. You will see it when you get there.
Six hours on the water, provisioned like an offshore day: lunch, beer, water and fruit aboard.
Surf forecast
Swell and wind each morning at 7 am on the open water off Herradura. We make the final call on the reef that morning.
