Pico de Loro is a popular surf spot located in Nuquí, Colombia, known for its stunning scenery and surfable waves. You can only get to this spot by boat, which adds to its adventure vibe. While many surfers choose to take the 45-minute powerboat ride to reach it, those who make the trip generally find it worth their while.

The waves at Pico de Loro pack a punch, especially with the south-west swells, which really bring out the best in this left-hander. The break works over boulders and sand, offering a mix of reef wave types. It’s known to handle swell sizes from as low as 2ft (about 0.6 meters) and typically holds up well during low, mid, and high tides. The best time to surf here is when the wind is coming from the east, and the waves usually provide fun walls, shoulders, and even some barrel sections. This spot is suitable for intermediate surfers looking to refine their skills.

While you'll find some decent crowding here, especially during peak times, it's usually manageable. Just keep an eye out for big rocks, as they can be a hazard. Whether you're riding the waves or just chilling, Pico de Loro offers a great day out for any surfer willing to make the trip.
