Xmas in Puerto - 15-20 local adolescents on the point all paddling for the same 2 foot wave with at least 4 people surfing at a time...sound fun? Go to Puerto during the holidays. I'm sure this place cranks hard during other months but its probably best to go somewhere else in December.

NEVER GO TO PUERTO AND FOR GODS SAKE DON"T MOVE THIER - Been kidnapped twice, killed my best client. Third time they tried to kidnap me after a local attorney called my home and wanted money, as we were en route to a U.S. Embassy Safe House. 2 hours later the police were at my home, as we were en route to a U.S. Embassy Safe House, shot at us three times, stabbed my wife and thats just a few of the things the POLICE HAVE DONE FROM THEIR!!!!
they are ZETAS people are killed all the time there and many do not even get reported or investigated by police....go figure why?

puerto escondido - puerto escondido es un paraíso, con sus bellos hoteles y sus cálidas aguas yo les recomiendo alojarse en el hotel flor de maría que esta como a 50 metros. de la playa es su mejor opción

Don't forget about the point - Hey guys, the beachbreak is gnarly and often closes out, but there is the point. At least there was last time I was there, in the 80's. Have they dynamited it?

If not, you don't have to worry about getting sandpapered in the beachbreak. The point is mellow and cranks. Go there and surf.

good times - i was in Escondido last october 2008. the place was real nice, food, people all great.

The wave though, as mensioned before, are masive this time of year. i can surf, but had a hard time with those monsters. recommend the place, but high level of surfing is required, or as i will next time, visit when it's smaller..

Puerto is a closeout - Surfed Puerto this Feb, dunno if the banks have changed or something but I found that like 9 out of 10 waves just close out. Super poweful but so short and not fun breaking boards on big closeouts. Don't rekon I'd go back was in Fiji prior to Puerto would rather go there, surf is way way way better and way less crowded.

- the best way to get from Mexico city to Puerto is buy flight of Click Mexicana which's cost 100$-150$.take to consideration they take additional 60@ per board pack.a cheaper way is to gfly with Magnicharter(cheaper than Click and don't take additinal pay for the board) to huatulco and taking 2 hours bus from there.you can also take 12 hours bus (first class) from Mexico City.
there are planty of places. to sleep in Zicatela beach just infront of the famous Mexpipe and the cost is vary, starts from 20$ for a couple per night up to 100$
also there are more relaxed accomandations in la punta.
and finally, the wave is intense (in Zicatela) if you are not a good surfer, don't mess with it when it's over 6 feet

checking out puerto - Hello fellow surfers!
Im coming to Puerto for the next new years with the hopes of surfing. I have only heard so far that its for experienced surfers but being only a mediocre surfer myself, im hoping to put my board to use someplace. Any locations nearby that arent too hardcore?
I would appreciate any feedback, thanks!
