Surfing Surfing Mazatlan – Come and let our expert surf guides show you some of the best waves in the Mexico Pacific coast. Surfing Mazatlan offers world class waves and the best thing about these waves is that only a few people know where to find them. We're sure that you have heard of Puerto Escondido, San Miguel, and Ixtapa, but so has everyone else. That's what makes Surf in Mazatlan unique, because chances are you will be the only one in the water. All the way from beginner to pro, the waves here are more than pictures, they are some of the best waves in Mexico. Surfing Season The best season for big swells is April to October, however November to March the conditions are not bad (best time for beginners), but you might want to bring your wet suit The surf spots: Surf spot No 1 – A great left pointbreak breaking wave with ideal power for intermediate and advanced surfers at the main point and for beginners at its second point. Veneno, on the other hand, is a mellower wave where shortboards and longboards can often get over 250 yards rides. Surf Spot No 2 – One of the best beach breaks of the area. On the right swell and conditions you can have a wonderful day at this break getting tubbed several times, depending on your skill level, on its good sized, nicely shaped, consistent and strong peaks. Surf Spot No 3 – This is a pointbreak, As soon as the river starts to flow into the sea good waves come out at this break, even though you have to wait until after the first storms come to an end due to the logs and the rest of the hazards that the river drags along with him down the mountains. Surf Spot No 4 – This is a left hand pointbreak, a World Class wave, with a very tricky takeoff at the main point. At its first section you may often find yourself with headhigh and overhead tubes, especially at low tide, that are the very best around here. This wave is always good to be surfed and provides very long rides. Longboards can surf this break at its second point, it provides rides over 150 yards sometimes even over 350 yards or more. This is the best!! Surf Spot No 5 – Right at the shores of the town of Celestino Gasca, there´s a nice left breaking wave ideal for longboarding, yet with several ripeable sections. Be warned that given the right swell and conditions this wave lights up and turns into an outstanding wave. Surf Spot No 6 – Both left and right breaking waves at this break, during the raining season the river´s draft breaks up the sand bar producing very nice waves with hollow tubes. Surf Spot No 7 – A Wide beach break with two main spots one with mellow waves and the second one known as “Tractores” with steeper and hollower waves ideal for intermediate and advanced level surfers. It works best at medium-low tide on the rise with moderate swells. Surf Spot No 8 - A left hand pointbreak with a wave that provides an over 150 yards ride, on optimal conditions even over 300 yards long. It can be surfed on 3foot swells up to 9 foot swells. When all the right conditions meet it is a very nice left breaking wave that has been surfed along the years by several generations of local and international surfers that have made this wave famous Surf Spot No 9  – A reef pointbreak, this spot can handle very big swells (From 3 ft up to 12ft), with waves that provide a ride 100 ft long up to 200 ft long depending on the conditions. At this point the waves break very far away from the beach, this wave is ideal for longboards. Surf in the city of Mazatlan. South of Stone Island in between “picos” and “Estrella de Mar” you can find very nice peaks that have a nice A frame shape on days with decent sized swells. Even though the ride is short it is a very fun wave to surf. Stone Island´s Peaks A very good beach break where you can easily know when the set is coming since the break is right in front of “El Cardon” where the oncoming waves break way beforehand and will be further turned into peaks by the sandbars. “ESCOLLERA” There´s a lot to be said about this wave. There are very few right breaking waves in the area that break as good as this spot. This break can handle even the biggest days. It is located in Stone Island right beside “Goat Hill”. The wave has a very hollow shape and lots of strength. It provides a fast, powerful short ride, but at low or medium low tide it just rocks! Olas Altas A good left breaking wave, it can get pretty crowded sometimes. This spot Works only on very special conditions and it provides a short but nicely shaped wave. Los Pinos A left breaking wave that requires big swells to unleash its full power, but that you can surf even on medium or moderated swells with a long board. Short but fun rides. It works best at medium tide. Jacarandas A right breaking wave with very nice shape, especially during the beginning of the surf Season. It can be surf on swells from 2 foot up to 9 foot. It is greatly affected by wind coming from the South, but even with wind you can enjoy very good rides on nicely shaped waves from its first and main point right in front of the rocks, for those adventurous ones, or from its second point, which is mellower and doesn’t require tons of skill to surf from there, unfortunately the rides are not as long. Barron It has very nice waves that are created by the draft of a river mouth. It has very good waves that break both left and right. It is pretty unconsistent and requires very special conditions to work well.
