Little Shoal is an exposed reef break in Limon that offers fairly consistent left and right-hand waves. The most favorable conditions are a northeast windswell combined with offshore winds from the south-southwest. The spot is sometimes crowded, and surfers should be aware of rocks and jellyfish. The best time for consistent, clean waves is typically in February.
