San Bartolo Access |
| |
Drive to about 53km on the Panamerican Highway, San Bartolo is well signed. Once in the area, head north on any of the small roads in the town to 'Playa Norte', because the main bay of San Bartolo 'playa sur' doesn't get many waves... |

Additional Surfing Infos |
| | The temperature data should be used carefully as this coast is subject to warm and cold currents at different times of the year, and on different years... remember El Nino?

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
Very friendly spot, with none of the 'hard-core' attitude found elsewhere. When crowded on weekends in summer this is less true! |
| |
General |
A really fun wave on small swell, with both a left-right peak in the middle of the bay and a small left 'reef' wave on the left (south) side of the bay. If this isn't doing it for you, try the meaty right-point break (Penascal - Experts only) on the northern headland. |

Awesome!
Things started out pretty normally. Got there around 5pm. The sun was strong and the waves were large (5-8 foot). There were about 8 people out on the southern break, but they were a bit spread out. The tide was decently high. The waves were breaking

Got the car out of the shop and raced down to San Bartolo to get in a little surfing. Made it by 6pm before the sunset. Had to get out just before 7pm though as twilight is ending much earlier now.Went out to the southern break and tried

Holy Week Crowd!
Holy Week holidays make almost the whole week, just like a Sunday. This means that the beaches are overcrowded and the surf is almost unsafe due to so many young kids and other surfers. I went down to San Bartolo for one of my normal week
