The Pacific Coast's Best Surf Breaks

Salsipuedes
About an hour south of the border, this point/reef break (the name translates as "Leave If You Can") boasts good lefts and a long, heavy right.

If you're crazy enough to surf Killers, one of North America's biggest waves, or just want to have a look, hire a fishing boat out of Ensenada for an hour-plus chug.

Isla Natividad
Open Doors, a world-class beach break, draws surfers to this otherwise isolated island, reachable only by boat or plane.

Los Pinos
Also called Cannons, the reef-rock left is visible from Mazatlán's coastal strip.

Pascuales
If you can avoid getting obliterated by this pounding beach break— Puerto Escondido's little brother—you'll get the tube of your life.

La Ticla
A classic left point break and a less consistent right, with a charming town a few minutes' walk from the water.

Rio Nexpa
On a good day, Nexpa could be called Mexico's best wave. The left point break peels for 200 yards, with barreling sections.

Puerto Escondido
One of the world's heaviest, hollowest beach breaks, the experts-only Mexican Pipeline will break your board, your bones, and your pride, and keep you coming back for more.
