About Punta Conejo
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SE (153°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (333°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–12 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 150 m out (1 in 15). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 26°C in February, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in May, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually June and August, with about 5 good days in 7; in January, February and December, about 1. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Salina Cruz, 7.6 km away (about 15 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.
Water about 27°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
