Punta Mango is the main attraction, an epic right pointbreak peeling over barnacle encrusted cobblestone. With a solid S-SW swell and an incoming tide, hollow racetrack walls deal out juicy barrels to the inevitable crowd of boaters, especially at its ideal size, from head-high to double overhead. It's possible to drive during the dry season, but the bad roads and thefts make the 30 minute boat ride from El Cuco advisable.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
