Cochino

Cochino (Playa de Levittown) is a small, sand-bottom beach spot with generally clean water and surf that works best with North to Northeast swell. For surfing, it’s described as a sheltered beach break that tends to favor left-hand waves, producing fun cutback-and-cruising sections when the swell is right. Reported surf shape is typically peeling, with a working swell window of about 1.0 to 2.5 meters and ride opportunities lasting long enough for several turns. Wind for kitesurfing is primarily driven by trade winds, with best wind directions stated as NE, ENE, and E. Typical reported wind strength for the kite window is around 15–22 knots, and reliability is described as high during the trade wind season. Kite sizes commonly used are around 9–12 m², and the styles are typically freeride and wave-oriented. The launch area is narrow and technical, so riders should be comfortable navigating nearby obstacles. Safety is a key consideration at Cochino. Hazards reported include rocks, rips/rip currents, and a mole/sea wall, and some sources also mention sea urchins. For kitesurfers, the spot is cautioned as intermediate-challenging due to the narrow entry and obstacle layout—especially during launch and recovery. For surfers, offshore Southwest winds can improve cleanliness, but exposure to rips/rocks still requires careful line choice. Seasonally, the best surfing/kite combination is highlighted for winter through spring (with December singled out as a best month in at least one surf guide). Additionally, hurricane season (roughly August to October, per the spot-level seasonal note) is mentioned as a time when surf can break more consistently—while also aligning with an active storm period. Crowd can get busy on good days, including when locals are in the water.
