Mellow sand-bottom beach break that’s often great for first-timers and confidence-building sessions.
Varadero is a friendly sand-bottom setup that can offer approachable peaks—ideal for learning fundamentals: paddling, pop-up timing and trimming.
Because it’s a beach break, conditions can change with sandbars and swell direction, so we time sessions for the cleanest windows.
