Toro de Oro is a surf spot known for its challenging conditions, making it more suited for experienced surfers. Located in an area with a nasty, volcanic rock shoreline, access is best via boat. The scenery is impressive, but the break is not for everyone. Those who are up for the challenge should be prepared for some rough spots, and it's necessary to pay attention to the conditions to navigate safely.

This spot really shines with a swell coming from the South or Southwest, especially when it's around 3ft (about 0.9 meters). The waves tend to break over a combination of uneven reef and sand, creating both point breaks that typically go right. For optimal conditions, you'll want a north wind and can surf at any tide, whether low, mid, or high. Just be aware that only expert surfers should take on Toro de Oro, as the fast, long rides can be tricky and lead to some serious consequences if you're not ready for them.

If you're planning to hit Toro de Oro, keep in mind the tidal conditions. Higher tides can help cover some of the rocky areas, making for a safer experience, but don't let your guard down. It's a spot that will test your skills, so make sure you're prepared before you paddle out.
