It's hard to believe that even though Mainland Mexico was one of the first destinations for intrepid traveling U.S. surfers in the 1950s, it remains today as one of the least-explored regions in the known surf world. But with over 2000 miles of lush, tropical Pacific coastline, a wide-open, year-round swell window, and close proximity to both West and East Coast U.S. surf centers, Mexico is the perfect place for a quick getaway-accessible adventure to fit anybody's budget and schedule.

We focus on the Mazatlan, Banderas Bay, and the Salina Cruz regions, which in total pick up all swell directions from the south to northwest. Long points, reefs, powerful, hollow beachbreaks-it's all here, and it’s all year. Both major seasons have their advantages: summertime gets consistent and big; wintertime gets epic conditions with dry offshores. To take advantage of the variety of conditions available throughout the year, we offer a variety of Mexico surf packages.

Northern mainland, the area around Mazatlan, is best during the wet season months of April through October. During these months surf is generated from both the southern hemisphere and cyclones that spin off Southern Mexico and Central America. Do not let the rain discourage your trip to this area. The showers are usually brief, occurring in the late afternoon.

Central mainland Mexico, the area around Puerto Vallarta, picks up swells from the northwest to the southwest. Best months in this area are typically the dryer months of November through May. As you move south the coastline turns, facing a more southerly direction. The south coast around Puerto Escondido is best during the south swell months of April through October.

Southern mainland Mexico, the location of our newest surf packages, Punta Escondida Surf Tours, covers the Huatulco and Salina Cruz region. This section of coast begins to bend southeast into the Gulf of Tehuantepec making it an ideal location for the strong south swells generated during the wet season, April through October. This newly discovered and difficult to access area is host to numerous world-class sand-bottomed points and hollow beachbreaks.
