Little Shoal surf guide

Little Shoal is located at the south end of Punta Cocles. It features a mix of coral and sand, making it a unique spot for surfers looking to catch some waves. It's not always consistent, but you'll find it rarely gets too crowded, allowing for a more relaxed surf experience.

The surf here mainly offers right-hand waves, with some lefts scattered throughout, but they're usually less intense compared to the nearby reefs. Little Shoal handles swell sizes around 1 ft (0.3 m) and works best with a north-east swell direction. You can expect it to break over dead coral, offering both reef waves and the chance to ride some shorter lefts and rights. For the best experience, aim for a south-west wind and surf during low to mid or even high tide. This spot is more suited for intermediate surfers, so it’s a nice place to challenge yourself without feeling overwhelmed.

Keep in mind that the conditions can vary, so it's always good to check the forecast before heading out. Overall, Little Shoal is a decent spot that can offer some fun waves when the conditions align.
