About Toro's

Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.

The spot faces N (16°), so it takes swell from the N. The wind blows offshore from the S (196°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up, because of a steep sea floor. It works in 2–9 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very steeply: 10 m deep about 50 m out (1 in 5). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hard and thick, like a slab. The sea is about 30°C all year: no wetsuit. For intermediate surfers the best months are usually January, March and December, with about 3 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Hanpan. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.

Water about 30°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
