Located in Central Baja, Mexico, Punta Negra is a quality right-hand point break that serves up classic rippable lines when the right swells arrive. The waves here require a bit of skill to surf and break for up to 100 meters over a rocky bottom. You’ll need a good 4WD and camping gear.
What are the best surf conditions for Punta Negra?
Gets good between waist-high and double overhead. We recommend riding a longboard when smaller and a shortboard or step-up as the size picks up. This break is suitable for intermediate and advanced-level surfers. The surf here is somewhat consistent (5/10) and will be uncrowded (3/10). The best winds are from the Northeast. The best swells are from the Northwest or West. Works on all tides.
We recommend wearing a 3/2 in the summer when water temperatures rise to 20 degrees. In the winter a 4/3 is best when water temperatures drop to 15 degrees. See the temperature chart below for more data on this.
