Rip tides can form in ANY beach situation, small waves or big waves. So I wouldn't think it is a major obstacle. If the waves are too large for comfort, then enjoy the spectacle and the beauty of a generally empty beach. OR- you can go into the lee of Punta Macao itself. Generally calmer, but some waves that are bboard friendly get around the corner. Not sure if they've started on that Marina project yet, so access may be tricky.
As with any other beach in the world- pay attention to conditions before going out.
