Playa Lagarto is a surf spot located near Pedasi, known for its scenic views and relaxed vibe. The beach is fairly open and can get some decent waves, but it's not the most consistent spot around. The setup allows for a variety of wave conditions, making it accessible for surfers at different skill levels. The locals often hit this spot when the waves are good, so be prepared to share the water.

This spot works best with a moderate headhigh southeast swell (about 1.5 meters) and can handle swells from 2 feet (0.6 meters) up. You can expect some nice tubular corners at the rocky point, especially when the swell is right. The waves can break both left and right over an uneven reef and sand, which can provide some interesting rides. For those looking to maximize their time in the water, low to mid tides usually work better here, while the ideal winds are from the northwest.

Playa Lagarto is a good option for beginners as well, thanks to the variety of wave types and the accommodating swell sizes. Just keep in mind that the best days are when the conditions align – so keep an eye on the swell forecast and tide charts if you're planning a trip!
