Tauro surf guide

Tauro is a surf spot located on the southeast headland, known for its unique waves. The area often sees crowded conditions, so be prepared to share the space with other surfers. The wave at Tauro is currently at risk due to urban development, and local surfers are keeping a close eye on the situation as it could impact the surf experience here.

The surf here offers a short but intense ride with a big barrel, ideal for experienced surfers. The wave breaks over a rock ledge and primarily rides to the right. Ideal swell direction is from the south, with some action possible from the southeast and west. It handles swell sizes at around 3 ft (about 0.9 meters) and is best with high tide conditions. For those looking to surf here, the best wind direction is northeast, but keep in mind that this spot is really for experts because of the reef and the tricky take-off.

Given the spot’s intensity and the need for caution, wearing a helmet is a good idea. It's important for surfers to be aware of the sensitivity of the area, as the ongoing development could threaten the surf conditions in the future. If you decide to hit up Tauro, it's wise to check in with the local surfing community to stay updated on conditions and any changes in the surf scene.
