Oaxaca is known as the surfing capital of Mexico. In addition to its surf culture, the Mexican state is also known for its indigenous cultures and colonial buildings composed of green volcanic stone.

A good tip to visitors: throwing in a little bit of Spanish with the locals will make their smiles even bigger and they’ll probably even show you some of the hidden surf spots.

Best Time to Visit

Big barrel waves usually appear between March and mid-November. If you’re a serious surfer looking to catch proper waves – this is the best time for you. Load up on some tacos and carbs before surfing to make the most out of your days.

Puerto Escondido

Puerto Escondido is one of the most favored surf spots in Mexico. Even when the waves are small, they’re still fun enough to ride your board on. The waves that appear here come in different sizes and sometimes the barrels can last for a while. A long ride is always a good one – so make sure to put this location in your top three places to surf. You won’t be disappointed.
