Playa El Toro is a surf spot located just outside of Pedasi. It's generally more protected than Lagarto, which can be a plus for surfers looking for a quieter session. To get the best waves here, you really need a solid south swell to work with. The spot is known for its rocky reef, which can be tricky, so watch your step when entering or exiting the water.

The waves at Playa El Toro break over uneven reef, offering short lefts and longer rights. The optimal swell direction is south, but it can also handle southeast and southwest swells. It's good for swell sizes around 4 feet (about 1.2 meters) and tends to work best during low to mid tide. If you’re planning to paddle out, keep in mind that the preferable wind direction is northwest. This spot is more suited for intermediate surfers, so make sure you’re comfortable on a board before you hit the water.

Aside from the waves, the rocky area can be a challenge, so it’s crucial to be careful when navigating in and out. Only the locals will really know when it’s at its prime, so it might take a few visits to figure out the right conditions. Overall, Playa El Toro offers a decent surf experience for those willing to put in the effort.
