Salty hair, sun-kissed skin & endless waves. Your laid-back guide to surfing the Pacific paradise of Puerto Vallarta & Riviera Nayarit.
Tucked between the Sierra Madre and the Pacific, Vallarta is more than a coastal town — it's a paradise for surfers of every level. Warm water year-round, consistent swells, friendly locals, and a vibe so chill you'll never want to leave.
From mellow longboard rollers to heavy reef breaks, the Bahía de Banderas serves up a menu for every surfer.
Mexico's most iconic surf town — three distinct breaks, a designated learning zone, and a charming village full of cafes, yoga studios & surf shops.
El Anclote is heaven for longboarders, El Faro throws down for advanced surfers, and Burros sits in between. Five spots in one paradise.
A hidden gem reached by a short jungle hike. Consistent waves, secluded vibes, and views that stop you mid-paddle.
Right in the heart of Puerto Vallarta — gentle waves, lively atmosphere, and the perfect spot to ride your very first wave.
Powerful reef breaks for those who chase the thrill. Best during summer south swells (June–August).
The mellow neighbor of Sayulita. Open reef breaks, charming boutiques, killer restaurants — fewer crowds, same magic.
Smaller, more consistent waves. Sunny days, warm water (24–26°C). Perfect for beginners and longboarders.
Bigger swells, more power. Peak surf is June–August when south swells hit hardest. Water hits 29°C — pure bliss.
No wetsuit needed. Ever. 🌞
