Toco is a surf spot located to the right of the main jetty in front of the fishing depot. It's a place where local surfers gather, especially when conditions are just right. The waves here only really break with a north swell, making it a bit inconsistent. It can get crowded, so if you’re not familiar with the area, you might want to have a backup plan for surf spots.
This spot is known for its super-hollow right-hand waves. The ideal swell direction is north, but it can also handle some northeast swells. You’ll find waves breaking over an uneven reef and some sandy patches. The best swells to surf here range from about 2 feet (0.6 meters) and up. The preferred wind direction is from the south, and the tides—whether low, mid, or high—can all offer decent rideable waves. Just a heads up, this spot is best suited for expert surfers who can handle its challenges.
When you head out to surf at Toco, make sure you drive down to the fishing depot and park there. This area tends to attract a lot of locals, so be respectful and enjoy the vibes. It’s a good idea to check the conditions first before paddling out, as it can be hit or miss with the swell. Happy surfing!
