Description
Puerto Escondido (Mexican Pipeline) - Oaxaca, Mexico
Puerto Escondido features a powerful beach break with both right and left waves, characterized by hollow and fast conditions. The bottom consists of a mix of reef and sand, making it a challenging spot for surfers. Access is instant, with public access available, but the waves can be difficult to paddle out due to strong currents and rips.
Known as the "Mexican Pipeline," this surf spot attracts both professionals and travelers, particularly during the spring to autumn season when conditions are most consistent. The atmosphere is vibrant and crowded, especially on weekends, with a strong local presence. Surfing here requires attentiveness, as waves often close out, and a high skill level is necessary for larger swells. Early morning sessions are recommended to avoid onshore winds. Be prepared for a challenging paddle out and respect local customs while enjoying the thrilling surf experience.
