Puerto is a closeout
Surfed Puerto this Feb, dunno if the banks have changed or something but I found that like 9 out of 10 waves just close out. Super poweful but so short and not fun breaking boards on big closeouts. Don't rekon I'd go back was in Fiji prior to Puerto would rather go there, surf is way way way better and way less crowded.

the best way to get from Mexico city to Puerto is buy flight of Click Mexicana which's cost 100$-150$.take to consideration they take additional 60@ per board pack.a cheaper way is to gfly with Magnicharter(cheaper than Click and don't take additinal pay for the board) to huatulco and taking 2 hours bus from there.you can also take 12 hours bus (first class) from Mexico City.
there are planty of places. to sleep in Zicatela beach just infront of the famous Mexpipe and the cost is vary, starts from 20$ for a couple per night up to 100$
also there are more relaxed accomandations in la punta.
and finally, the wave is intense (in Zicatela) if you are not a good surfer, don't mess with it when it's over 6 feet

checking out puerto
Hello fellow surfers!
Im coming to Puerto for the next new years with the hopes of surfing. I have only heard so far that its for experienced surfers but being only a mediocre surfer myself, im hoping to put my board to use someplace. Any locations nearby that arent too hardcore?
I would appreciate any feedback, thanks!
