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 taste of an authentic Mexican coastal town. Winter (October to April) is the best season to visit this part of Mexico. It never rains, it is mostly sunny but not to hot. The mornings and afternoons can be a bit chilly but it warms up pretty fast. The water temperature is very convenient year round; all you need to surf is board shorts and a rashguard.

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.

The accommodation we offer is a great deal. Depending on your preferences we can offer you two different types of accommodation, standard or upgraded.

The standard alternative means you will get your own bungalow which will have a small kitchen and fridge. Depending on availability you will either have your own bathroom or share bathroom with other bungalows.

If you are travelling as a couple, we can also offer accommodation in your premium bungalows just by the beach (upgraded accommodation). Book this alternative and you will get a private bungalow with a king size bed, private bathroom, a small kitchen and a patio with ocean view.

Both the standard and upgraded accommodation are located just 5 minutes walk away from Sayulita town where you find lots of restaurants, bars, shops etc. Even closer you will find Sayulita's main break, (just steps away from your accommodation). You can catch a couple of waves, come back in, get a drink and go right back out.

There are lots of open areas perfect for BBQ's, a nice beach volleyball court, a ping-pong table and a movie room. All Bungalows are cleaned at least once every 2 days.

Arrival to the area is easily done via Puerto Vallarta's international airport (PVR).

Since Puerto Vallarta is a high profile tourist destination it is usually possible to find direct flights to Puerto Vallarta from several cities in USA and Canada. Another option is to change flights at Mexico City. Check with your local travel agency to find a good deal from your hometown.

When you arrive at the airport we can arrange for a private car picking you up. If you prefer you can also be picked up/ dropped of at Puerto Vallarta’s city centre or bus station (where bus connections to all mainland Mexico is offered).

Whether you prefer pick up at the airport or at Puerto Vallarta city centre , it’s only about 45 minute drive to the surf camp and the price is 65 USD per car (one-way). This i paid upon arrival at the surf camp.

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.
