Tides : 3 of the 4 premier breaks at the East coast are low tide breaks. Las Flores will break at all tides at size (mushier at mid-high) but on smaller days will actually shut down on the high tide. Toro and Vaca are both very tide sensitive and only break 2.5 hours on either side of low tide.

Punta Mango will break at all tides.It seems to be best overall at low-mid tide incoming,but is surfable on all tides. On bigger walled up swells, the higher tides are morefavorable, while on smaller less consistent swells a low tide is more desireable. Weeks with morning low tides tend to be the most desired weeks on the booking calendar (see tide chart),especially from April-October which tend to be offshore-glassy in the mornings, but onshore-sideshore in the afternoons. November-March tide is less important as the winds tend to cooperate more this time of year with many slack or offshore afternoons.
