El Cocal

Intermediate

El Cocal, also mapped as Playa El Guano, is a southeast Puerto Rico beachbreak in Camino Nuevo, Yabucoa. It has scenic rock formations and a nearby natural pool, while the surf zone can produce inconsistent left and right peaks when south to southeast swell reaches the coast. Treat it as a lower-intermediate call because shorebreak, rocks, rips, and missing lifeguard coverage matter even when the wave looks playful.
