Discover the Best Surfing in Oaxaca MexicoWith over 5,000 miles of coastline on the Pacific coast, it should be no surprise that Mexico is a paradise for surfers. And the state of Oaxaca is no exception, offering more than 300 miles of beaches where you can catch some of the best waves in Mexico. From the world-renowned swells of Puerto Escondido to the gentle surf of La Bocana, My Huatulco Vacation puts you in the heart of the action. Whether you are a seasoned surfer or are looking to try this watersport for the first time, we are here to help you find the best surfing in Mexico.
Oaxaca offers year-round surfing, but the best season to get in the water is during the summer months. This lasts from June through October offering nice weather, warm water temperatures, and impressive waves.
Discover the Best Surfing Spots along the Oaxacan Coast
La Bocana offers an excellent surf spot near our luxury beachfront property, Montecito Beach Village. The breaks at La Bocana are consistent with the waves at Puerto Escondido, so you can usually expect big waves. If you want to learn surfing for the first time, you can sign up for lessons with Bocana Surf School here.
If you’re willing to take a short road trip (40 mins by car), you can access some of Oaxaca’s most famous waves! We highly recommend the idea of hiring a surf guide to help guide you to the best breaks and hidden access points.
Puerto Escondido offers the best surfing in Mexico for advanced surfers and beginners alike. We are excited to introduce our newest properties in Puerto Escondido, putting you just minutes from the best surf in Oaxaca:
Zicatela Beach is the most famous surfing spot in Mexico, known for its extreme breaks and waves reach heights of up to 20 feet. This spot is only recommended for advanced riders since the breaks are often dangerous.
This is the Puerto Escondido surf spot for beginners! The beach offers shallow waters and mellow swells ideal for those starting just out.
Located just south of Playa Zicatela, you will find a beach for intermediate surfers, La Punta. It offers less powerful waves and a fun lefthand pointbreak.
Discover the best surfing in Mexico for yourself by planning a getaway to beautiful Oaxaca. My Huatulco Vacation makes it easy to access world-class surfing with our properties throughout Huatulco and Puerto Escondido.
First off, let us clarify that there is no wrong time to visit Huatulco, Mexico. Deciding when the best time to visit Huatulco depends on your interests and budget. Those looking to get away from the cold will find the perfect winter escape in Huatulco, and those looking to save money on vacation will find plenty of deals during the summer low-season. Whether you want to plan your Mexico getaway around a fun festival or during the height of whale season, the perfect time to visit Huatulco is up to you! Regardless of when you visit our slice of paradise, My Huatulco Vacation offers the ideal place to host you and your family.
Huatulco does not have traditional seasons that you would expect in temperate climates; instead, there is a wet and dry season. The dry season usually lasts from October through April, while the wet season lasts from May to September. Don’t let the wet season deter you from booking your vacation then; rainfall is usually short lived and intermittent. This provides plenty of opportunities to explore during the day while saving money on your favorite activities!
Another thing to consider when debating the best time to visit Huatulco is what piques your interest. Visitors who want the best snorkeling experience can visit during the winter, and vacationers who want to experience local events will find plenty to do during the summer and fall. Read on to discover what you can do during each season in Huatulco!
Summer in Oaxaca is part of the rainy season but still offers plenty of sunny days with highs in the low 80s. The rainfall transforms the vegetation into a lush green, making summer one of the most beautiful times to visit us! If you are considering visiting during July, plan your getaway around Guelaguetza Festival, which celebrates Oaxacan culture.
September can be one of the rainiest months of the year, so we recommend planning your fall getaway later in the season. Temperatures remain warm in the fall, with highs in the mid-80s and lows in the 50s at night. Visit us in mid-September to celebrate Mexico’s Independence Day, or wait till the end of October to celebrate the infamous Dia de Los Muertos.
Winter is the high season in Huatulco when an influx of snowbirds returns to Mexico looking to escape the cold. With the influx of crowds, lodging and activities increase in price, making winter the most expensive time to visit Huatulco. Winter also brings the return of local wildlife to our waters, like humpback whales and sea turtles.
Huatulco is hottest from Late March to early May, but the season is generally dry. If you visit during April, you can plan your getaway around Semana Santa or Holy Week. If you wait till May, you can join the Puerto Escondido fishing tournament or annual Mole Festival, where you can sample all seven moles.
Now that you know what each Oaxacan season offers, you can easily figure out the best time to visit Huatulco.
