The eastern end of the island, in the province of
Guantanamo, offers the best conditions for the south, since the waves are more constant from the end of September until December, where it joins the great tropical storms of the Caribbean Sea, which provides waves of Earth.
For example, you can enjoy one of the best surfing spots in Yumurí, 30 km east of
Baracoa, which offers you a “wave of rights”.
