📍 Local Knowledge
Backwash is a quite exposed point break in Golfo Dulce that offers very consistent surf. The most favorable conditions are a south groundswell with offshore winds from the northwest. The spot is unlikely to be crowded, even when the surf is on, but surfers should be aware of rips and rocks. The best time for consistent, clean waves is typically in September.
