I am trying to get feed back on the best places to surf around Argentina. Geographical the region just north of Mar de Plata looks like it would attract a decent amount of swell from multiple directions; does anyone have experience exploring the points in these regions? What are the communities like north of Mar de Plata, is there fully developed infrastructure, high speed internet connections in that region? | ||

Developed with the impulse of tourism, Mar de Ajo is a perfect combination of the charm and beauty of its natural resources, the high quality of its infrastructure and equipment, the matching service and the hospitality of its inhabitants. It is located 350 km away from the city of Buenos Aires, on the Atlantic Ocean. An intimate but welcoming and friendly community situated along one of the regions best beaches. Mar de Ajo is quite a relevant seaside resort in Buenos Aires Province which presents a warm familiar atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy the practise of different water sports like windsurfing, jet skiing, wakeboarding or motorboat excursions as well as fishing from a boat or enjoying the sandy beaches where you can practise beach volleyball , 5 soccer or tennis in the nearby courts. Located on the Atlantic coaset, Mar de Ajó has a template climate with an annual average temperature of 22º C with maximum temperatures of 33º C in the summer. For many years, this city has been known as Margarita Beach in honour to the name of a boat that sank near its shores. The city has an important commercial center that copes with all the demands of the tourist. Among its many attractions, Mar de Ajó offers its long beaches, frequently invaded by clams and shellfish . The Fishing Pier, a 270-meter long concrete structure -the biggest in the Coast District- is ideal to spend an excellent day fishing. To the South of Mar de Ajó, you can live the adventure of horse riding, going on four wheel motorcycles or fourtrax excursions In the city, the La Margarita Shipwreck El Libertador y el Mar Monument are a must. In the evening, the Mar de Ajó Casino offers broad and comfortable facilities with with roulette and black jack tables as well as varied slot machines. Car Race Lovers find a special place in "Rubén Luis Di Palma Regional Motor-Racing Track" located in a 360 hectares site opposite the city. There is nothing better than Mar de Ajó for a well-deserved rest with the entire Family | ||

James, can you read any spanish? This site is a guide to the argentine beaches with descriptions of waves and such. And here is a nice article on surfing in Mar del Plata with contact information to a surfing School, which may lead you to new information... Mar del Plata should have good infraestructure including high speed internet all around. | ||

I am also looking to do some surfing in Argentina either in March/April or June/July, but I hate wet-suits (actually, just cold water). Are the currents warm or cold? Is it wetsuit-suggested surfing? I don't speak/read spanish, so the surf website does me no good. This is a business/surf trip so the advice would save me a road-trip up to Brazil just for the surfing side of my trip, which would be nice but very time-consuming. Also, what is the surf like in those months that I mentioned? | ||

I am only guessing since I have no surfing experience, but my take at least about water temperature is that it will be cold anytime of the year as you can only find warmer waters to the south of Buenos Aires, notably in Rio Negro (San Antonio Oeste) in "Las Grutas". For specifics on surfing in Argentina contact the association (surfrider Argentina) at editor@tresquillas.com.ar or at surfriderargentina@hotmail.com Alternatively, try phoning at 54-223-4924354 SURFRIDER ARGENTINA (SFA) Gustavo Huici Director Ejecutivo SFA Diagonal Alberdi 2585 1ºA B7600GYG Mar del Plata Te 0223 492 4354 Móvil 0223 15 524 0566 (Message edited by admin on November 19, 2006) | ||
