Guacuco surf guide

Guacuco is a beach located closer to town, stretching across 5 km of open shoreline. It picks up plenty of swell, making it a suitable spot for surfers looking for some fun waves. While it may not be the most impressive wave you'll ever ride, it's a nice place to catch some time in the water without getting lost in the crowd.

This beach is great for beginners, as it offers easy waves that generally break over sand. The optimal swell direction here is NorthEast, but it can also handle swells from the East. It works best with swell sizes starting at about 1 ft (0.3 meters) and can be ridden left or right. For the best experience, the preferred wind direction is from the SouthWest and it works across low, mid, and high tide. You can expect somewhat messy conditions at times, but that just adds to the laid-back vibe, perfect for those learning the sport.

If you're looking to improve your skills, Escuela De Surf Guacuco Roots offers lessons and rentals, making it easy for anyone interested to get started. Overall, Guacuco provides a chill surf environment that is friendly for newcomers to the surf scene.
