Atmosphere
The atmosphere is great. I am a surfergirl and never felt so comfortable among surfers, the surfers there are really kind and open and there's always room for everybody. I really don't like it when locals try to make you go away, but luckily its not the case in Punta del Este :)

General
It's easy to surf if you are not a PRO, and if you are you'll have lots of fun anyway. The weather is always sunny during the summer (jan, feb, march, april) and not too cold during the winter :)
