Tico's Point

Edit Spot
About

The atmosphere is "friendly". The place is empty and sometimes you will see local people fishing. Also is possible meet foreigners that work on few companies like Mittal Steel and LAC.
If you prefer look for Sah Andrews in Buchanan town. He knows the place and he is really good driver. (Just ask him to drop you in the place where Tiago, Marcelo, André and Danilo from Odebrecht used to surf).

Additional Info:
Tico´s is a beach break that can get 6 ft when the correct swell and wind hit.
The best time to surf is after raining season and always early in the morning.
Before 11 PM we usually get offshore wind and the wave works better. It means fast and hollow;
There is no crowd and no place to stay or have lunch. So take water, food, sun cream and whatever you want.
