READING THE SEA…
Is it worth a session at Mar del Plata?
At 1.4 m it's fun — fun, rideable waves for most surfers. The swell period is on the shorter side, so expect choppier, weaker surf than the height alone might imply. This is the open-sea figure — the wave that actually breaks at a given peak depends on the spot's shape and the state of the tide, so treat it as a steer, not a promise. The water is 12.5°C — cold.
