Presentation

Surfcamp 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 very uncertain and it can get incredible hot, why the surf camp close down for this period.

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. In the summer, the climate is more hot and humid with uncertain wave conditions, why the surfcamp close down. The water temperature is very convenient year round; all you need to surf is board shorts and a rashguard.
