About This Break
Zippers is a right-hand point break at Costa Azul in San José del Cabo, at the eastern end of the Los Cabos corridor in Baja California Sur, Mexico. It is a short, punchy right over sand and rock, and the best-known wave in Los Cabos.
It needs a south swell, so the season is March to October, and summer hurricane swells can make it heavy. It works at all tides, best on a pushing tide. It is easy to check from the coast highway above the beach.
It suits intermediate surfers on normal days. On big summer swells it gets fast and hollow and the lineup fills with good locals. Rocks and a current run around the point, so pick your entry and exit.
Costa Azul has condos and hotels right above the break, and San José del Cabo has homes and villas a few minutes away. Los Cabos airport is close, which makes this one of the easiest surf bases in Mexico for buyers. Foreign buyers use a bank trust (fideicomiso).
