Crocro Beach
Crocro Beach (Crocodile Beach) in front of Tamraght: an open sandy beach break used for surf lessons. Level, swell, wind, hazards.
How it breaks
Crocro, also called Crocodile Beach or Crocs, is an open sandy beach on Imourane beach in front of Tamraght. It is exposed, so it catches almost every west to north-west winter swell. Peaks shift with the sandbanks and give short lefts and rights that often close out.
The camps use it a lot for lessons in the whitewater. There are small hidden rocks in the middle of the beach, so ask where to paddle out before your first session.
When it works
West to north-west swell with offshore east wind. On big days the close-outs get heavy and it is better to surf a sheltered spot. Surf-forecast.com has no separate page for Crocro; the Devil’s Rock forecast next door works for both.
Getting there
The beach is about 1 km from the centre of Tamraght, just north of Devil’s Rock (to the right as you look out to sea). From the Travel Surf Nature house it is a 3-minute walk.
