Southwest corner of the Piedras Moras reservoir, in Almafuerte, next to the Route 36 bridge. Launch from the sandy shore of the meadow, next to a narrow passage that crosses the sandbar and connects the lake with an inland lagoon to the south. The wind is north and northeast, most frequent from September to November in the afternoon. On the lake it comes in onshore, creating chop and short waves. When the passage is open, even with north wind you can cross to the southern lagoon, a beautiful flat water spot. The passage is not always open: it depends on the reservoir level. With fronts, south wind comes in, which blows offshore here: do not go out with it. Watch out for the dirt island in the middle of the lagoon and the mud and vegetation on its banks. In summer there may be cyanobacteria in the lake. There are no services on this shore, which is countryside; Almafuerte is about 3 km to the east.
