FAQs about Surfing in Mexico

Mexico hosts several surfing contests and competitions every year, the most famous of which is probably the Annual International Contest held in Puerto Escondido at the end of November.

There are also a number of smaller contests held in each state which result in the usual prizes and trophies as well as points to become a part of the Mexican National Surfing Team and compete for the World Surfing Championship.

Since this site is based in Guerrero much of this information is about this area though we'd be glad to post information and surf tournament coverage for all of Mainland Mexico.

If you have information and would like to help please contact us with dates, results, photos and other information.
