Salina Cruz is a blue-collar port city, with the majority of its income derived from oil refining. Because of this, there is virtually no tourism infrastructure whatsoever in Salina Cruz. This makes for a unique opportunity for the adventurous surfer, as large Mexican cities located near good surf have mostly been Americanized beyond recognition. This trip offers epic, uncrowded surf in a traditional Mexican city.
This area has a very strong N to NE wind condition caused by a gradient between the Gulf of Mexico to the North and the Pacific Ocean to the South. During our winter (October-April), these winds can blow in excess of 30-40 knots, blowing out the surf in this region. However, during the rainy season (april -September), wind velocities generally diminish to between 10-20 knots, with variable direction. Each of the point breaks, jetty breaks and beach breaks in the Salina Cruz area has a different swell and wind window, enabling surfers to score on almost any wind/swell combo.

Panama, Morro Negrito
I really had a great time and I learnt a lot about surfing. I'd like to make another surf trip in the future, I met really interesting people. Morro Negrito is like paradise, sometimes I couldn't even believe I was really there.
