Top 3 Mexican Surfing Destinations
Why Surfing in Mexico?
Mexico has over 6000 miles of coastline, over 1500 miles on the mainland Pacific. This section of the coast is covered with beaches, points, reefs and rivermouths.Waves vary from slow rollers to crashing tubes. It seems that every few miles of waterfront offers a new surf spot, most of which are empty.
The surf along the Pacific coast comes mainly from storms off New Zealand and Antarctica to the south and the Arctic storms that bring swell in winter to west facing beaches. The best time of year for surfing on south facing beaches is May through October while western facing beaches are best from December through March.
Mexico offers all kinds of surf, from a gnarly, hollow, tubing beachbreak like Puerto Escondido (Oaxaca) or Pascuales (Colima) to a mellow longboard heaven like Sayulita (Nayarit) or La Saladita (Guerrero). Some of the well known spots can be crowded but there are many other breaks where you can surf all alone.
