Wetsuit choice
Bring a 3/2 mm or 2/1 mm wetsuit depending on season—water can be cool year‑round and a suit keeps sessions longer and more comfortable.
Protect your feet
Wear reef booties for rocky entries and to prevent cuts on the shallow reef and sandbars common around Lobitos.
Hydrate and sunscreen
Strong equatorial sun and long sessions mean bring water and high‑SPF reef‑safe sunscreen; reapply after each session.
Local etiquette
Respect local fishers and surf line‑ups—ask the guide about priority rules at each break to avoid conflicts.
3/2 or 2/1 wetsuit
Keeps you warm in 18–26°C water and extends session time in cooler mornings.
Surfboard (shortboard or longboard)
Choose a board that matches local point breaks—longboards for walls, shortboards for punchier peaks.
Reef booties
Protects feet on rocky or reefy entries and while walking to breaks.
Reusable water bottle & reef‑safe sunscreen
