Los Corchos is a beachbreak located in Mexico that appeals mainly to beginner surfers looking for a mellow session. While it doesn't quite match the intensity of spots like Puerto Escondido, it does offer some opportunities for fun waves, particularly during certain conditions. The layout with its sand bottom is relatively user-friendly, making it a convenient spot for those just starting their surfing journey.
The surf at Los Corchos works best with a west swell, though it can also pick up some south and northwest swells. It handles wave sizes around 2 feet (0.6 meters), which makes it manageable for beginners. The waves can break left and right, providing some options depending on your preference. During low, mid, or high tide, you can find something to ride, but keep an eye on the wind—northeast breezes tend to create the best shape here. However, expect the conditions to be soft and sometimes junky, lacking the punch of more renowned breaks.
While the wave quality can be hit or miss, if you get lucky with the right conditions, you could enjoy some fun rides. It’s a good spot for beginners to practice and work on their skills without feeling overwhelmed. Just be prepared for a bit of inconsistency and don’t expect it to be firing every time you show up.
