About San Andres
Flat to choppy and shallow water close to the beach. Nice waves breaking just behind the area. The water can be relative polluted by the fisherman harbor right in front or for the fisheries around, anyway we have not found yet a season where this could be a problem. Be careful with the shallow waters with rocky sea floor: high jumps are not recommended in this areas.
