Great surf with good wind. Miles and miles of downwinders possible. Two major currents collide here producing fantastic surf and the wind can be quite good. Unreal surf and wave sail spot. Sand point. Top to bottom waves. Advanced intermediate to expert wave riders only. With bigger swells, the wave will close out or break too fast for most people. Shore break and near shore side current can be strong but once out in the take off zone, the drift decreases.
About 90 minutes south of Puerto Vallarta on Hwy 200, turn right on dirt road in the town of Pino Suarez. There are a few signs for Rancho de las Olas and one is on Hwy 200 at the turnoff. The distance from Hwy 200 to the beach is about 10 miles. Cars with good ground clearance are needed. Rain may make parts of the road difficult to drive. Park car at the end of the road and follow the trail through the estuary or over the concrete flood control `bridge.` The campground is on the beach.
The beach is a private campground, open to the public, and costs only 6 pesos for day or overnight use. Fresh water crock nature preserve just behind the beach, but no worries...fresh water but they do get to 13 feet long.
