Rio Coyula

Rio Coyula is an exposed point/rivermouth surfing spot near Laguna Boca Vieja, accessed via a dirt track off Mex 200. It’s known for consistent surf and a sandy launch setup that can produce both lefts and rights off an eastern headland. Surf quality is most associated with south (and nearby) swells, and offshore north winds help groom cleaner faces. One guide also emphasizes that the spot works best with a southeast swell, and overall it’s described as having a steady rhythm rather than being a rare, ultra-variable wave. Timing-wise, summer is described as the optimum season for reliable surf, while November is called out as the best month for clean/rideable conditions. Tide information is mixed across sources, but low tide is specifically indicated for the spot, while another description notes mid-tide can also work depending on sandbar formation. Safety is a major theme: hazards include sharks, strong currents around the river outlet/tidal exchanges, shifting sandbars, and potential wildlife near the river mouth. There’s no dedicated on-site rescue or lifeguard presence, so the practical takeaway is to be self-sufficient—carry provisions, keep a leash, and plan for self-rescue with limited nearby medical access.
