Mexico Surf Spot Map Contributions welcome. Add the waves you've surfed for others to enjoy. Mexico is a fantastic country for surfing. There's a huge variety of breaks and plenty of swell. Uncrowded breaks can be found along the entire length of the Pacific Ocean coastline. The waves can be surfed all year round, and the coastline is pounded with consistent surf. Mexico has over 6000 miles of coastline with over 1500 miles on the mainland Pacific. April to October is the main season and with nice weather, warm water temperatures and good waves, you could not ask for anything more. Waves are generated all year round by the deep Southern Ocean low pressure systems and more localised tropical storms, June to October being hurricane season. A great place for a surf trip is the southern tip of Baja California - the place is a swell magnet and it is totally lacking crowds. There is a large variety of waves to suit everyone from beginner to the most experienced surfer. Waves to check out are Puerto Escondido - one of the best beachbreaks in the world - and waves around the Oaxaca region in the south. And here it is: Mexico's Jewel: the wave at Puerto Escondido.
