Troncones (Guerrero)

Troncones (Guerrero) is a rugged, exposed stretch of coastline known mainly for surfing—especially a point-break setup with consistent, long, peeling waves. Water quality is reported as crystal-clear, and the seabed is a mix of sandy areas and rocky outcrops where the best waves form. For surfing, the point-break is described as exposed and works best with an incoming high tide. A good swell direction window is reported as south to southwest, with typical usable wave heights around 1.0–2.5 meters for the more ideal conditions. On the better sets, rides can be long (one report notes up to around 200 meters on a good swell, with a typical ride length around 150 meters), and larger swells are said to hold size and can feel heavier and more powerful. Wind sports are supported by seasonal afternoon thermal sea-breeze effects. Spring months (notably February through May) are highlighted for building thermal winds, with a typical reported range of about 10–20 knots. Kitesurfing is possible as a niche option in the afternoons during that spring window, but the point area requires extra care because rocks and sea urchins are common in rocky sections. Safety is the main constraint: rocks are a consistent hazard at the point, particularly at low tide, and sea urchins are reported in crevices. Rip currents are also possible near the points and during larger swells, and stingrays are reported in the area—so careful entry practices (like shuffling your feet) are advised. There are no lifeguards reported, and the nearest major medical facilities are in Zihuatanejo.
