About the Wave

Secret local spot just about 45 minutes driving from Puerto Vallarta, this surf spot only breaks during a really big and solid swell — maybe about 8/10 times a year. So if you surf there it means you got lucky.

When this place breaks, locals know. A real swell-magnet that only fires on solid south or south-west swells. Going here is half luck, half timing — but on the right day it delivers waves you'll talk about for years.
