There aren\u2019t many places in the world where you\u2019re greeted by two different swells like that! While surfing is a year-round sport in Los Cabos, certain times of the year present better surf conditions in some areas more than in others:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Surfing on the Sea of Cortez:<\/strong> Plan your trip during the spring and summer months. March through May is considered \u201cthe transition time,\u201d but May has the best south swells. You may run into northwesterly winds on the Pacific Side this time of year. Crowds are low, though, so you may find this time of year preferable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Surfing the Pacific:<\/strong> Winter and fall offer the best conditions, with consistent swells. September through November is ideal if you want to avoid throngs of tourists, as students are in school and Christmas travelers have not yet arrived. Water temperatures are much warmer than Southern California, but many people wear their spring-suits. Cabo is busy with tourists from December through February.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Overall<\/strong>: June through August is peak surf season in Cabo, due to the weather. Infrequent hurricanes can send the perfect southeast swell up the East Cape. The weather is hot and sticky, often in the 100s. The water is warm on both coasts, but 5-10 degrees cooler in the Pacific.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Surfing in Cabo For Novices and Beginners<\/h2>\n<p>West of Playa Costa Azul is Playa Acapulquito, which is known as \u201cOld Man\u2019s Beach.\u201d Here, you\u2019ll find right point breaks for surfers ranging in skill from beginner to advanced. Unlike many Cabo beaches, the wave power is fairly consistent throughout the tidal stages. It can be a happening spots on the weekend, but there are plenty of surf shops and trainers to accommodate you. For the very best, check out the Costa Azul Surf Shop and Mike Doyle\u2019s Surf School.<\/p>\n<p>Surfing spots continue as you round the cape heading up north on the Sea of Cortez toward Cabo Pulmo, the world\u2019s most northerly coral reef system. On the Pacific side, Cerritos Beach is a well-known surf paradise near the quaint, artsy town of Todo Santos. Learn-to-Surf camps have long set up here due to the lack of rocks and serious hazards.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Surfing Baja California As An Expert<\/h2>\n<p>If you are an expert-level surfer, make your way to Playa Monumentos. This beach is popular with tourists who are in Cabo San Lucas explicitly for surfing, although it is actually located just outside of the town. Here, experts will find what is labeled a \u201ctricky\u201d left point break. Swells surging up to 12 feet tall are common at mid and high tide here. You\u2019ll need to be mindful of the rocky takeoff zone and the spiny sea urchins, but the exhilaration is well worth it.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the great surfing in Cabo San Lucas, several spots have&nbsp;notable breaks in San Jose del Cabo, include Playa Costa Azul and the world-famous Zippers surf break. Zippers is the closest break to San Jose del Cabo, just west of the town. The fun, fast right break provides a nice, long ride along the reef suitable for expert surfers. Zippers is also great for hobnobbing, as it\u2019s the home of surf competitions held by the&nbsp;World Surf League&nbsp;every July.<\/p>\n<p>Cabo San Lucas is at one end of a long stretch called the Corridor that runs between there and San Jose del Cabo. Along the Corridor are many different sites of interest for tourists visiting Los Cabos, surf spots included. One such spot is the secluded Playa El Tule, which is located in the middle of the Corridor and accessible by four-wheel drive vehicles only. Only the most confident surfers attempt the strong, variable left and right, high-speed break waves of Playa El Tule.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Where To Stay While Surfing Cabo San Lucas<\/h2>\n<p>If your dream vacation includes surfing in Cabo San Lucas by day and relaxing in a beautiful furnished vacation rental by night, you\u2019ve come to the right place.
