 Surf Spot Characteristics

 Additional Information

machanicho actually consists of 3 different spots. most of the current description describes what is called machanicho inside. machanicho inside actually works best with no wind and incoming tide. it holds only up to 5ft and works best if the swell comes in from nw. the ride is about 20 to 40m at best. rips and currnts are pussy, so enjoy the ride
standing on the reef you can see machanicho outside on the right edge of the bay entry. its quite a paddle out there and the incoming water will push you back. wave works starting from waist high up to doh. it can be powerful but is mostly ridden by longboarders.
if you stand on the reef and look right. you can see waves breaking on the left edge of the bay. i consider them hardly rideable. a bit more to the middle of the bay a nice and gentle longboard wave starts to wrok of the swell on the outside reefs exceeds 3m+. it breaks over a large rock (size of a bus-visible at low tide only), so make sure you are in front of the rock or on the side. its an a-frame and has to exceed overheadsize before ist rideable. take a bid board and ride it till the middle of the bay. current may get strong depending on tide.

Atmosphere

The rip is not strong dont worry. If per chance you do wipe-out in the impact zone try not to get pushed on the shallow part of the reef.
