Mexico Surf Spot Map
Get to the bottom of the USA and keep heading south. You
will find some lovely warm crystal blue water. Oh yeah, and
great waves.
Mexico can be surfed all year round and gets consistent surf.
It 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 would 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.
