Itinerary

Dinner, settling into accommodations, and then an overview presentation on our itinerary, the beaches and surf breaks we'll hit, what the conditions are like, and more.

Surfing warmup on our local beach. Revisiting the basics and catching everyone up to speed on technique before we advance to bigger or more difficult swells and breaks.

After breakfast we'll take a few vans to a nearby area to try some new waves and break directions. This variety will give you an opportunity to learn and expand your skillset.

Many people opt to rest this day, but if you don't find yourself needing it, we usually gather the energetic surfers to another nearby beach where we have consistent but not huge breaks.

Finally, we'll head to the undisputed best surf spot in all of the Punta de Mita. You'll get to utilize all you've learned and try your skill in some of the best swells on the {acific coast.

We'll have a wrap-up breakfast and say our goodbyes, but it's not truly goodbye. Many surfers stay in Punta Mita or neighboring towns for extra time to go back to their favorite surf spots. We encourage connection with the local surfing community!

Surf Breaks and Conditions

For those looking to get their adrenaline pumping with the help of the best surf breaks, there’s no better place than Punta Mita. From the double-overhead reef wedge at Burros in summertime and practicing turns on La Lancha's steeper sets of waves (for intermediate surfers), beginner surfers can enjoy themselves with an Anclote point that has become popular among surfers from Puerto Vallarta as well Sayulita. Many Sayulita tourists and surf enthusiasts come into Punta de Mita to surf and return to stay in Sayulita.

The best surf spots are found on the north, west and south sides. With such a huge variety of wind directions, this provides for constant waves somewhere in the area with offshore winds. swells with offshore winds all year round and all the time, high tide or low tide! The beach break on Bahai may not lend itself too well to longboard surfing, but rest assured, there is a surf spot here for every type of surfer. Plus, with this wave consistency, beginner to advanced surfers alike can have ample time and opportunity to practice whatever they're honing in on. Punta Mita surfing won't let you down. More importantly, Punta de Mita, the area of Punta Mita, doesn't just have surfing for every surf level, but a town and resorts with culture, comfort, and excitement galore!

Punta de Mita Surf Spots

San Pancho

San Pancho is one of the most loveable towns in all of Mexico. It’s north-of-Punta Mita, between jungles and low hillsides that unfold with cobbled streets onto spicy taquerias where you can order ceviche fresh off the boat at any time day or night! The surf on this beach isn't great for intermediates but it's perfect if you are more skilled--the break offers up some good waves when conditions are right (which they usually are).

Bahai

Bahia is the most consistent spot in all of Punta Mita. It draws in swells from NW and SW channels, so it’s often working when nothing else is. It’s not a beginner wave, but does mellow to intermediate level in the calmer winter months (November-March). The best days are on 5-10 foot at low tide (don’t even both at high). They give hollow wedge A-frames with a very quick right and a fast but rippable left. Fun apart from the paddle out. A boat from Punta de Mita harbour is the only real option.

Stinky's

Punta de Mita's walking distance neighbor Stinky's, has one of the most popular breaks in town. It gets busy but offers something to everyone- whether you are just starting out or have been surfing all your life and want some new waves to try on. The spot has become rare as it usually only offers scope when S winds kick up; otherwise, right sides will usually make an appearance instead which makes them even better since these offer more consistency than left side tubes do!

Playa La Lancha

Playa La Lancha is another close neighbor to Punta de Mita. La Lancha boasts some of best spots to take surf lessons and draws visitors from Puerto Vallarta and Sayulita as well. How has La Lancha grown to be such a beginner and surf lesson destination on Meixco's Pacifi coast? A great, consistent break for beginners and another for more intermediate riders. It also boasts gorgeous turquoise waters with palm trees on either side plus high cliffs dotted by these sturdy giants of nature.

Punta Burros

The waves at Punta Burros are sure to have you in awe. If the challenge is too much, but offers some extra punch for swell channels. During summer months, the waves calm down a bit and offer more entry level experiences. In the winter though, be prepared for some chest high fun! The hollow right-hander with lots speed off peak makes it a near perfect surf break with an experience second to none.

Sayulita

Finally, there is the classic and crowd favorite Sayulita. With its close proximity to Punta Mita, it is the perfect place to be if you're looking for some high-quality Mexican waves. It has all levels covered, with plenty of great hotels, restaurants, coffee shops, and bars that will satisfy any appetite! The town itself has an interesting Pacific Mexicana character, making it both a destination for surf, and a destination for surfers to be based out of!

Punta De Mita Area

The Punta Mita area is a perfect balance between rustic fishing villages and luxurious resort towns. This serene and authentic experience stands in stark contrast of the bay where Puerto Vallarta makes its home. Although it offers some top notch hotels and resorts, it's also full of activity with bikers zipping through town or people sitting by beaches drinking Coronas on sunny days!

Getting to Punta de Mita is easy from many neighboring towns, villages, and areas such as Sayulita, Puerto Vallarta, San Pancho, Litibu, Riviera Nayarit, and so many more! In fact, many of these locations are so close that visitors are able to do easy day trips for surfing, shopping, dining, or just to try out another town! Transportation from Puerto Vallarta for example is just under an hour. And if you're at one of the many hotels such as Grand Palladium Vallarta resort, you'll enjoy a complimentary shuttle! The locations of the nearby towns such as Sayulita, La Lancha, and San Pancho are so close, that many advanced surfers can start the day surfing one surf break, and in the same day take a quick surf trip to enjoy a unique swell direction or surf break.
