About Ladrilleros

Ladrilleros is a beach on the Valle del Cauca Pacific coast located near Buenaventura, an emerging destination of Colombian surfing. Its consistent, strong waves, which break over a sand bottom, make it ideal for intermediate surfers looking for quality waves in a remote, authentic setting. The area is surrounded by mangroves, jungle and cliffs, and keeps a strong Afro-Colombian character, with local communities that give the region its unique cultural identity. Its relative remoteness keeps the waves uncrowded, in a pristine, highly biodiverse Pacific landscape. The water is warm all year round and its best season runs from April to November, when the best swells come in. Beyond surfing, the region offers waterfalls, natural pools and whale watching in season. For the adventurous traveler seeking surf off the usual circuits, Ladrilleros is a fascinating stop on the Colombian Pacific.

Condition Scoring

Rating Algorithm 1-10

Each forecast hour receives a score from 1 to 10, calculated by adding points for different factors:

Wave Height (0-4 pts)

< 0.5m = 0 pts | 0.5-1.0m = 1 pt | 1.0-1.5m = 2 pts | 1.5-2.5m = 3 pts | > 2.5m = 4 pts

Dominant Period (-1 to 3 pts)

Uses the dominant/peak period (wave_period). < 8s = -1 pt (wind swell, messy) | 8-10s = 0 pts | 10-12s = 1 pt | 12-16s = 2 pts | > 16s = 3 pts

Wind (-2 to +2 pts)

Glassy (< 5 km/h): +2. Light wind (5-10 km/h): +1. Moderate wind (10-20 km/h): offshore +1, onshore -1. Strong wind (> 20 km/h): onshore -2, offshore -1. Wind data covers the full 15-day forecast window.

Secondary Swell (-1 to +1 pt)

If a secondary swell with height ≥ 0.3m and long period (≥ 10s) exists, +1 point is added. If the period is short (< 10s) and direction differs > 45° from the primary swell, -1 point penalty for crossed seas. If directions are similar (≤ 45°), no penalty is applied.

Rating by score:

Flat (1) Poor (2-3) Fair (4-5) Good (6-7) Epic (8-10)
