The
summer brings good swells from a southern direction and the
spot to be is along the "corridor", a 15-20 mile stretch
between Cabo San Lucas and San Jose Del Cabo, on the Sea of
Cortez. Winter swells are generally from the northwest along
the Pacific coast. The water temperature is between 21 C. (70
F.) and 29 C. (85 F.) year round and the sun is always hot.
The
late summer to early fall, during the "chubasco" or
storm season offers perhaps the best wave action.. One popular
spot, known as "Zippers", is located between Km. 28-29
on Mexican 1 on Playa Costa Azul. Other Cabo area surfing spots
include:
Punta
Palmilla: between Km. 28-27 near the Hotel Palmilla
Playa Acapulquito: on the Bay of San Jose Del Cabo
Playa Buenos Aires: Km. 22
Playa Cabo Real: Km. 20
Playa Cantamar: Km. 16
Punta Chileno: Km. 14
Playa Cabo Bello: between Km. 6-5
For
most surfing in the Cabo area short boards are sufficient. Surfing
supplies and equipment may be found in small surf shops in Cabo
San Lucas and San Jose Del Cabo.This surfing guide is offered
