Playa Cocles beachbreak has a consistant break with both lefts and rights that beak close to the beach. When small the waves are fun and good for beginners. As the surf gets bigger it gets hollower and tends to close out. 

At the north end of the beach there is an island that is about 300 meters off shore. When swells are big a le ft breaks off the island and breaks almost through to the beach

When swells are big there are strong currents.
