If the break right out on the main beach isn't good on any given day, Alonso at San Pancho Surf shop is definitely the man to go to to find the lesser-known spots. This page has an interview with him and how to get in contact with him: http://sanpancholife.com/news.php?num=176
He also heads the Nayarit surf federation and plans surf contests in San Pancho. Lots of action!
He is a super great surfing source for the area.

San Pancho Surf Shop
Just getting back to the rainy country up north after 10 days in San Pancho. When you go there make sure and stop by San Panch Surf Shop and visit Alonzo. He's a nice fellow and he'll help you with any surf questions or just local knowledge. He's a rippin surfer with a mellow mentality. I'm a longboarder and gave San Pancho beachbreak a try, but too fast for me. Shortborders would love this place, no crowds on the waves and I hear it gets powerful in the summer. Head to Chacala's for some nice quiet fun-for-all waves. Hit it now before they develop the coast right up to it soon. LaLancha is a good bet for quiet beach and mellow longboarding waves. Sayulita, good but hit it early AM, not sure if it's worth the crowds and attitude about the wave, i'm sure it has it's moments. Enjoy
