Punta Chipehua Surf Spot

Punta Chipehua is a remote right-hand point/beach-break setup on Oaxaca’s Isthmus of Tehuantepec coast, near the fishing community of Santa Gertrudis Miramar. Chipehua is visually extraordinary: enormous coastal sand dunes descend directly toward the Pacific, creating one of the more unusual surf landscapes in southern Mexico. The surf area combines sand-bottom peaks with waves shaped by the point and coastal contours.

The break favors southerly Pacific swell, with the better setups producing long, clean right-hand walls along the point and shorter peaks elsewhere along Playa Chipehua. Its location well east of Huatulco means it receives far less surf traffic than Puerto Escondido and Oaxaca’s established surf corridors.
