LATEST CABO SURF REPORT!

Cabo San Lucas welcomes surfers from all over the world with both winter and
summer wave action. Although the area around Cabo is less popular than
the northern coast of Baja, Cabo offers both good known surfing spots and
many so called "secret" spots known only to locals. However, seasoned
surfers will intuitively find "the spots".

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 21ƒC. (70ƒF.) and 29ƒC. (85ƒF.) 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.
