About This Break
Salina Cruz is both a major port city and the namesake surf break at the heart of one of Mexico’s most celebrated right-hand point-break regions. The broader Salina Cruz coastline is famous for extraordinarily long sand-bottom rights, but the dedicated Salina Cruz forecast spot itself is classified as an exposed breakwater/beach setup, producing both lefts and rights.
The greater Salina Cruz surf zone is a collection of incredibly long right-hand point breaks featuring barrels, crisp lips, pocket sections and long open walls. The combination of strong Southern Hemisphere groundswell, warm tropical water and favorable regional winds has made it one of mainland Mexico’s premier surf destinations.
