Mexico's Prime Surf Spots
Browse all the Mexico surf spots and surfing resources in our directory - click here
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. We will show you some of the better (and better known) breaks and you can expand outward from there.
We have surf spots in Sinaloa, Nayarit, Jalisco, Colima, Michoacan, Guerrero, Oaxaca and Chiapas. Or look for one near a vacation destination like Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta, Manzanillo, Ixtapa, Acapulco or Huatulco.
Need info on where to stay? Who can fix your broken board? Where you can buy or rent a surfboard? We also provide information on surf resorts and tours, surf shops & lessons and contests here in Mexico as well as a few maps to help you find your perfect wave.
The surf we get 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. Check out the Forecast page for weather, wave height and direction, water temps and tides
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.
Be sure to check out the Surfing Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Page and email us if you have any questions (or answers). Send us some good pictures and we'll add them to the photo pages.
