SEA OF CORTEZ BREAKS FROM LOS FRAILES TO CABO SAN LUCAS

MONUMENTS
Monuments is a left point break that can get a little tricky. This spot is best saved for the seasoned or expert surfer. You’ll find this break just east of Cabo San Lucas off of highway 1. Look for a statue or monument at the entrance near the Missiones del Cabo hotel in the corridor. The break is located below the hotel’s restaurant. Monuments can offer decent size even when the rest of the area is flat.

ZIPPERS
World famous Zippers is the closest break to San Jose del Cabo. Located just west of the town, it offers up a fun, fast right break and is the site of numerous surf competitions. Unfortunately, with fame comes crowds and if you are hoping to find wide open ocean chances are you won’t. If you can handle fighting for position you will be rewarded with a nice long ride as the reef structure creates a long break when the size is there.

SHIPWRECKS
Off the beaten path and best accessed by 4 wheel drive vehicles, Shipwrecks is one of the more famous breaks that is usually un-crowded. The drive into this area boasts some of the most amazing coastal scenery you’re are likely to ever see. Not well marked, you’ll need to keep a sharp eye out for a small development named Rancho Rocas del Mar, the first break is just south. Shipwrecks is most productive during a strong southerly swell. Further north are Nine Palms, Punta Perfecta and Los Frailes.

ACALPULQUITO
On the way from San Jose del Cabo to Cabo San Lucas, this is right breaking swell that offers good surfing for beginners as well as advanced surfers.

LA ROCA
Another good spot along the Costa Azul shore this is also a right break that offers up a real challenge for advanced to expert surfers.

EL TULE
You will find this spot In the middle of the Tourist Corridor adjacent to Chileno bay. This is a strong break that goes both ways with speed and is best left to the expert surfer.

PACIFIC OCEAN BREAKS FROM CABO SAN LUCAS TO TODOS SANTOS

LA PASTORA
Located about 5 miles north of Todos Santos you find this break by starting in town at the Hotel California. Just east of the hotel look for a road that heads north and when you get to the bottom of the hill hang a left and continue down a dirt road for several miles and keep your eyes out for a small sign for Pastora. There is a sand lot where you can park but avoid going in deep without a 4 wheel drive vehicle, getting there is important, getting out is even more so! Once you arrive you’re in for a treat on fun breaks that go both directions and are usually un-crowded.

PESCADERO
This is a very good reef break a few miles south of Todos Santos at KM 60. Consistency is probably the best feature of this break but be especially careful paddling in and out as the reef is covered with sear urchins and nobody wants to spend the day pulling out spines! Here you can spend the day surfing and you have the convenience of a small restaurant for quick refueling or just plain relaxing.

PLAYA CERRITOS
Rated one of the best breaks on the Pacific side it is also the most well known and most crowded. This is a right point break when the swell runs right or a good beach break the majority of the time. Located at KM 64 off of highway 19.
