San Mateo, Ecuador

San Mateo, is a tropical pointbreak in Ecuador offering world class left handers. The wave however is under threat from national authorities and private investors who are eager to build a fishing port. This would bury the spot and all local surf tourism, worsen erosion on the towns beach, and aggravate pollution and sedimentation in local waters.

Progress has been made through Save the Waves Coalition delaying the building of the port, they have proposed building the port in a revised area that would be safer and protect the local economy.
