Because of his Point, Montañita has two currents that hits and slits in a whirlpool: 500 meters before the Point, in the middle of the bay you can find this whirlpool.
From this place to the Point It's a current that goes to the north and from the whirlpool to the town It's a current that goes to the south.
So it's convenient to surf in the Point or in the beach's town.
