Cap Lopez is a surf spot located just below the lighthouse and to the other side of Village des Togolais. It's known for being one of the more reliable places to catch some waves if Palplanche is not firing. The spot offers some good variety with beach breaks that can appeal to different abilities, making it a decent choice for surfers looking to get in the water.

When it comes to surfing at Cap Lopez, it’s best to hit it when the swell is coming from the South or SouthWest. The waves can handle sizes starting from about 1ft (0.3m) and typically break over sand, which is nice for anyone falling off their board. You can expect predominantly lefts, but there are rights too. The waves tend to jack up close to the shore, providing some hollow sections for those looking to snag a barrel. The optimal wind direction is Southeast, and the spot works best during low to mid-tide, but it can handle some high tide as well. Overall, it’s suited for intermediate surfers who want to challenge themselves a bit.

Given its location, Cap Lopez can pick up swells well, making it a go-to spot when conditions align. It's definitely worth checking out when you're in the area, especially if you're looking for consistent surf without having to chase down other spots.
