Surf camp Mexico

Surf Camp Mexico is Located in Mexico’s pacific coast in the town of Sayulita with easy access to over 14 surf spots. Sayulita is 45 minutes drive from Puerto Vallarta, a big tourist destination, to which you can find direct flights from lots of cities in the US and Canada.

The area around Sayulita is great for beginner and intermediate surfers as the breaks are mainly point breaks with moderately powered waves. The surfing season is generally better in the winter (October – April), when north swells come and hit Sayulita enabling a point and a beach break right in town. Also the predominant wind directions during winter tend to create offshore wind for the surf spots in the Banderas bay, only 20 minutes drive from Sayulita. In the summer (June – September) the wave conditions are a bit more uncertain so it's not a good time for experienced surfers, and the temperatures can get really high.

A great advantage about the area is that due to its geographical positioning, no matter where the swell is coming from, if you are with an experienced guide, you will find a great wave to ride.

The town of Sayulita is a great laid back destination, which offers lots of restaurants, bars and outdoor activities. Everything is within walking distance and it still has the feel of an authentic Mexican coastal town. Dry season (October to June) is the best season to visit this part of Mexico, however there is surf year round, and if you are OK with some afternoon showers, the rainy season (July till Sept) is great time for a quiet holiday.

The water tends to be warm most of the year, all you need is a surfboard, shorts and a rashguard; however, from Jan till March, wetsuit tops are recommended, and are provided by the surf school for guests at no extra cost

The surf school usually holds lessons for beginners at the main beach break in Sayulita town. However the surf school is also completely mobile, taking students to different surf spots where they can experience different waves and work on their posture and turning.

Depending on your level of surfing, the surf instructors will guide you and help you to improve your surfing skills. As a goal for first timers, the focus is that guests will learn enough so that by the end of the first week they will be able to go out and surf by themselves.

For all surf lessons the surf school work with a maximum 1:4 instructor:guests ratio.

We guarantee that after one week of surf school the complete beginner will be able to surf and the experienced surfer will have improved greatly.

Another (cheaper) options is to go by bus.To catch a bus from the airport you must leave the airport and cross over the Highway on the pedestrian bridge, the bus stop is right where you get off the bridge. The line serving Sayulita is COMPOSTELA and their buses are white and green. Look for the name "Sayulita" written on the windshield of the bus. The journey takes about 1.5 hours.

You can also catch the bus in Puerto Vallarta where the COMPOSTTELA line starts from Walmart down in Marina Vallarta.

Catching an ordinary taxi from PV airport can be a bit intimidating, but still possible. As you get out of the international arrivals area, there will be lots of taxi drivers trying to get your business. Prices vary depending on time of day and time of the year but you should aim not to pay more than 65 USD for the trip to Sayulita.
