Surf
When the northern swell arrives to Zorritos, it is the best season to go surfing. The rest of the year you can surf nice small waves with no people around at the sea. This is better if you are a beginner or want to learn how to surf. The sea temperature is quite warm, so you won't need a wetsuit. You can also surf until almost night time or really early in the morning.
When there are no waves in Zorritos, we can go a few kilometers away to a beach which always has a good waves.
