Troncones Point (La Majahua)

Troncones Point (La Majahua) is a left-hand point break in the Manzanillo Bay area, known for long, peeling rides and very high wave quality. Multiple reports describe the break as a regional classic with strong consistency, creating a dependable platform when the right swells arrive. Surf performance is most noticeably affected by swell size. The wave typically starts working around roughly 1.0–1.5 m and is reported to hold up through larger conditions (including swells in the ~5 m range or higher). In the right setup, it can become extremely powerful and challenging, with descriptions ranging from powerful pitching left shoulders to triple-overhead behavior when conditions align. Wind is generally favorable when northeast flow is offshore. Reports indicate that mornings tend to be the most reliable for clean conditions, while the thermal/sea-breeze pattern can shift winds later. One thermal window is described as operating from dawn until about 11:00 AM, and another source notes early winds giving way later in the day. Safety is a major consideration: the take-off and entry are rocky and include sea urchins, with hazards also including rocks and rips/strong currents. Local guidance emphasizes precision near the large rock at the take-off, avoiding low tide when rocks are more exposed, and using appropriate footwear/gear. Rescue support is reported as limited locally, so paddlers should be prepared for a longer, more physical session.
