Cerritos is a warm-water, friendly surf beach near Todos Santos favored for consistent, user-friendly waves and long peeling rides ideal for lessons and guided surf tours. The beach offers both mellow sandbar peaks for beginners and punchier point peaks for more experienced riders – making it a perfect stop on any Cabo surf tour.
Cerritos combines dependable conditions with on-beach surf pros, easy parking and a relaxed surf-camp vibe – you’ll get more than just waves: an on-site base with instructors, rental gear, and a morning coffee stop to get you dialed in. Our guided lessons and surf tours are built for all skill levels so you can learn to surf or find the best local peaks for advanced turns.
Cerritos – one of the best surf spots in Cabo San Lucas boasts a sandbar and point-break combo that works year-round and really shines in the cool-season months when winter swells bring longer, peelier rides; excellent for longboarding and beginner-friendly lessons, with opportunities for intermediate surfers to work on turns at the point.
Costa Azul (Zippers) – a faster, more performance-oriented surf spot on the San José del Cabo side that produces hollow, quick rights when the swell and tide line up; ideal for experienced surfers chasing speed and advanced maneuvers.
East Cape – a more remote set of breaks in this Cabo surf spot with varied conditions; sheltered spots on calmer days suit longboarders and beginners, while exposed points light up with larger swells for experienced surfers seeking less-crowded waves. Trips here are more of an adventure and often pair well with a full-day surf safari.
Beginners – Cerritos is the best place to start for Cabo San Lucas surfing: forgiving takeoffs, long rides and lots of on-beach instruction make it the top pick for first-timers.
Intermediate surfers – choose Cerritos when the winter swells push into the point, or Costa Azul for faster, punchier waves.
Advanced surfers – Costa Azul’s Zippers or select East Cape points deliver the performance waves you’re chasing when the swell is up.
Our Cabo surf tours typically depart at 7:00 AM to catch glassy morning conditions and smaller crowds. Typical durations: Cerritos 5 hours, Costa Azul 3 hours, East Cape 5 hours (including transport and on-water time). Bring sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses and a swimsuit – and expect a light coffee stop before hitting the lineup.
Our surf pros prioritize safety – we brief all guests on conditions, rips and local lineup etiquette before entering the water. Respect locals’ priority and follow your instructor’s positioning and paddling guidance. We use reef-safe sun products and encourage guests to protect reefs and shorelines by taking care with footwear and trash.
Our Cabo surf tours suit families with older kids, couples learning to surf together, solo travelers wanting coaching, and experienced surfers looking for local peaks with a local guide. If you want a lesson-first day, choose Cerritos; if you want high-performance waves, ask about Costa Azul or a tailored East Cape safari.
We run small-group lessons and private guided surf tours – book early during high season. Private transfers, multi-day surf packages, and combos that include Todos Santos town stops are available on request.
