2 spots
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.
La Pozita is the local-name north-side El Cocal sub-break in Camino Nuevo, Yabucoa. Public beach sources generally describe La Posita or La Pocita as the semi-protected rocky pocket at Playa El Cocal rather than a standalone surf guide spot. Quiver lists it separately because local feedback says the sets can be more organized and less shorebreak-heavy than main El Cocal, while keeping it in the intermediate, local-knowledge-dependent bucket.
