Playa cocles
Edit SpotAbout
Awesome spot
Lineup is just at few paddles distance and waves are constant throughout day and tides. Watch rip-currents!
Additional Info:
Series of beach breaks that break over a sandbar; waves are short and tend to jack up creating a steep, fast entry with a slow, ride with lefts and rights. Best conditions in the early morning at mid - high tide.
