Just next to the pension is a big bay with off-shore, flat water conditions. Wind is gusty as off-shore but very rideable +- 5kn (not like +-20kn in Puerto Velero and Cabo). You can also downwind through the mangroves to another magic flat water spot. There are shuttle boats that take you back. And then there are Las Dunas. An epic onshore wave spot with super clean wind.
