San clemente del tuyu

San Clemente del Tuyú (North), Argentina is a surf spot on the Atlantic coast of Buenos Aires Province, known for its accessible beachbreaks and relaxed coastal vibe. The North section generally refers to the more northerly stretches of beach near town, where sandbanks can produce rideable waves depending on swell and wind conditions.

Surf description

• Wave type: Mostly beachbreak
• Wave quality: Can be fun and punchy when sandbanks line up, but usually varies with tides, swell direction, and recent storms
• Best swell: Works best with southeast/east southeast swell from the South Atlantic
• Wind: Offshore or light northwest winds are often cleaner; strong onshore winds can quickly deteriorate conditions
• Tides: Can be tide-sensitive, with different banks working at different stages

What to expect

• Beachy, sandbar-driven surf rather than a reef or point setup
• Waves are often suited to shortboards and funboards, with some sections offering beginner-friendly shoulders when the surf is smaller
• It can get crowded in good conditions, especially during weekends and holiday periods
• The area has a laid-back seaside town feel, with easy beach access and local surf culture

Skill level

• All levels, depending on conditions:
• Beginners: Small, soft days
• Intermediate: Most common fun conditions
• Advanced: Bigger swells can create faster, more hollow sections
