Amazing, amazing surf spot in the north at Pacifico; the surf break itself is called Big Wish. It's perfect for advanced surfers looking for big, left-handed barrels and the spot is far less crowded than Cloud 9 because it's an hour’s drive from the main tourist areas of General Luna but it's definitely starting to get busier with more hotels popping up.

Once you have arrived at the surf spot just paddle out from the beach.  Be careful though, there is a strong current in front of the beach pulling you right as you paddle out. So start further up the beach in front of where the waves are breaking and by the time you reach the line-up with will have drifted much further down to where the channel is.

In the summer months of June, July, and into August Pacifico will be really small so it's also great for Beginners to Intermediates.
