The Surf trips consist of 2 zones:
Zone 1 - Huatulco is located 20 minutes driven from the international airport and it is considered one of the largest tourist destinations of México, similar to Cancun. Huatulco has nine beautiful bays perfect for diving, chilling out and you have to taste the delicious meals cooked by locals!Huatulco has 4 to 5 surf spots. This zone has wind protection and offers year-round good surfing conditions, best in the mornings. However, many of the points hold their shape throughout the day.
In this zone, there is a surf spot called Barra de la Cruz, the most famous wave in the area (where the RipCurl final contest has been held) - right and point break with rides up to 150m. This wave can barrel all the way, depending on the currents when it´s big. This area provides a reliable option when the swell is small or wind blown in the Zone 2.
Zone 2 - Salina Cruz is a small city with 100,000 residents and with only 35 local surfers! There are a dozen of natural points and beach breaks perfect to surf.
It is located 2 hours drive from the Huatulco international airport. Its main characteristic is that there are uncrowded spots to surf, most of the time overhead waves, clear waters and good atmosphere; where the sun and pelicans will be the only witnesses of your tricks.
The Zone 2 has very strong north to north-east winds from October to March caused by a high pressure gradient between the Gulf of Mexico and the north and Pacific Ocean. These winds blow in ranges of 30-45 knots almost every week and blow out the surf in the area, but from April to September, the wind diminishes to less than 15 knots - ideal conditions for surfing.
Oaxaca's waves have left, right, natural points, beach breaks, jetties, and sick barrels!! The furthest surf point in Salina Cruz is 40 minutes drive, but that it's not a problem - you will be not bored because of the beautiful scenery along the way.
Climate:
One of many advantages of the two areas is the climate: warm, semi-humid, with a year-round average temperature of 27°C winter´s temperature is never below 14°C. Whereas late spring's and summer's maximum temperatures increase to 36°C, this insures you will spend your vacation relaxing and enjoying the sunshine, making the most of the warm weather.

The surf
Zone one: Barra de la Cruz- The best waves in the zone one, right-hand point break with rides up to 150 meters. This wave can barrel all the way.
- El Edén: right hand point break, stars working only in special conditions, but when it does it turns into a perfect wave with a nice tubes section.
Zone two: Salina Cruz- Spot 1 - Salinero: hallow right-hander jetty. The wave is a barrel with up to 5-second stand-up tube rides when on. The prevailing northern winds are offshore here, but sometimes turn hard north-easterly and give the wave a dangerous cross chop. Best on low tides, it is the local's home break.
- Spot 2 - Punta: right-hander point break, this wave it´s very fun, brakes on sand bottom, low tide is better. 180-200 meters long waves. SW-W winds are the best. 4x4 access only.
- Spot 3 - Soca Blanca: this is the famous point break in the area because it´s in a trilogy surf movie. Uncrowded right-hand point break with rides up to 170 meters. Two super barrel sections, heavy with swells up to 14 ft. Recommended for experienced surfers, it is about 25 minutes drive from Salina Cruz. SW-W winds are the best. 4x4 access only.
- Spot 4 - La Rojita: heavy righthand beautiful point brake - no room for mistakes or you are going to finish on the rocks at the first section. Super fat and sick barrel wave!! Best on low tide, start to work at 7ft. This break is really ncrowded and works best with light winds from north or no winds at all. 4x4 access only.
- Spot 5 - El Ikools: the best beach break in the area. Works better with strong north winds (off shore) and lies in the Zapotecs' people zone (Oaxacan indians). 20 minutes drive from Salina Cruz.
- Spot 6 - El Tecolote: this is largest wave in the area - more than 300 meters long (in perfect conditions), 3-barrel section. S-SW winds are the best for this break to work, and it isn't good when the winds are northern. Starst to work at 6 ft.
- Spot 7 - Las Bambas: Bamba #1 is a powerful, hollow righthander breaking on the inside of a short jetty. The wave sucks out and peels for 50 meters or so before self -ombusting. 4x4 access only. Bamba #2 is a longer, outside second jetty.
