About This Break
San Agustín is an exposed but swell-filtered beach break at Bahía San Agustín on the western edge of the Huatulco coastal area. The broad sand beach produces multiple left- and right-hand peaks, but unlike Oaxaca’s highly exposed marquee breaks, San Agustín needs a substantial southern swell to really come alive.
When it works, expect relatively approachable, punchy sand-bottom peaks rather than the extreme barrels associated with Puerto Escondido. Smaller conditions favor longboards and progressing surfers, while chest-high to overhead-plus swell produces better shortboard waves.
For surfers looking to buy, sell or invest around Huatulco and the Oaxaca coast, International Surf Properties connects the global surf community with real estate in the places surfers want to live.
