Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca

This spot also call the Mexican Pipeline, and can ensure this surf spot Zicatela has nothing to envy your Hawaiian friend. Driven by the powerful swell from the south swells and works all summer.

Being a swell coming from distant storms contains a lot of energy, so we need a good wave board. Both the left and right open and it is not surprising to see out more than one rider with a broken board. Some of localism on the spot, so if you come from outside, it is essential to respect the local riders.

Pasculaes, Colima

In contrast to the spot Puerto Escondido, this sandy beach is perfect barrels forming peaks from south swells. The days of over 20 feet in size can be observed even tugboats which facilitate catch the waves to more advanced riders.
The normal is that waves of 8-10 feet fair form from May to October. Not a spot for novice surfers, since a good fall is almost synonymous with a broken table.

Cerritos, Baja

If we move northward from Cape tip of Baja for about an hour, we leave the resort town where after surfing is what we’ll be by drinking margaritas. These 70 kilometers and affect the temperature of the air and the ocean, but the big advantage is that we will have a much less crowded spot where a lot of waves ahead.

In Winter swells tend to come from the north. The waves will not be as perfect as in the previous spots, but certainly, we can enjoy good quality waves quite exclusive.

Killers, Todos Santos, Baja

Todos is the sister Mavericks wave in Mexico – many of the surfers when they get there they are amazed, and only a few dare to surf this great wave.

Zippers, Baja

Zippers is located near Cabo San Lucas, it’s a wave that only runs from April to September, it is easy and accessible to all levels and that input is soft and as the wave opens to the right the paret grows ending up with a good aerial!

Salsipuedes, Baja

It is the wave that is nearest to the U.S. border is not possible to access it through their acatilados as they are owned by a private company, so the only way to access it is by boat.

Barra De La Cruz, Oaxaca

Rio Nexpa, Michoacan

The wave of this spot is located at the mouth of River Nexpa. It works well when we have a good south swell.

Salina Cruz, Oaxaca

The waves are accessible for all levels.

Troncones surf tripTroncones, Guerrero

Mazatlan, Sinaloa

Right across the Gulf of California is the ancient port city of Mazatlan. North of the many spots and bays.
