The location of Garagolo is not available to preserve and protect the integrity of the spot
Mostly known as a right-hander, Garagolo can provide also good rides on the left. It can become an heavy beast as the size increases, providing barrelling sections and a fast takeoff. When big, you can connect the left to the wave behind the pier, just passing really close to the rocks and the pier: dangerous but worth trying. Pay attention to the shallow rocky bottom. Can be dangerous for beginners, so stay away. The best conditions for surfing at Garagolo are achieved when the swell comes from the southwest, west, or northwest directions. In terms of wind direction, northeast, east, southeast, and south winds contribute to the optimal surfing conditions. Respect the local crew.

Tides play a role in determining wave quality at many surf spots, but some locations like Garagolo remain consistent regardless of tidal changes. In these spots, the depth of the water over the seabed stays relatively stable, meaning the waves break in a similar way throughout the tidal cycle. Whether it's high, medium, or low tide, the wave conditions at these spots are largely unaffected, offering consistent surf sessions at any time of day.
