The East Cape is a rugged, less-crowded surf region east of San José del Cabo known for a mix of remote reef and point breaks that light up on the right swell windows – it’s an adventure-ready destination for surfers who want fewer crowds and a range of waves from mellow longboard rides to powerful right-hand points.
East Cape surf tours give you access to breaks that often require a bit more planning and a local driver – that effort pays off with cleaner lineups and varied conditions. When the swell and wind align, advanced surfers can score hollow, fast rights at breaks like Shipwrecks, while other nearby points deliver long, softer rides suited to longboards. The region’s remoteness also makes it a great choice for photographers and groups wanting a less crowded session.
Cerritos – a reliable, all-abilities beach and point break popular for lessons and longboarders; it’s an easy, user-friendly choice that works in many swell conditions and is ideal if you want consistent, forgiving waves.
Costa Azul (Zippers) – closer to San José del Cabo, Zippers and nearby reef sections produce faster, more performance-oriented waves – think hollow rights and quicker faces that advanced surfers chase for high-performance turns and barrels.
East Cape – more remote with a wider variety of exposed and sheltered breaks; best for surfers who want an exploratory day and the chance to find quiet, high-quality waves that reward timing and local expertise.
Cerritos tends to be most consistent in the winter months when northwest groundswells wrap the Pacific coast. Costa Azul and East Cape have strong seasonal windows too – consult local forecasts for swell direction, period and wind to pick the right day.
Our Cabo surf tours start early (before 7:00 AM) to catch calmer winds and glassy conditions; East Cape trips are full-day adventures that include longer drives, so bring sun protection, reef-safe sunscreen, sturdy sandals, a towel, and a camera. Our guides brief groups on rips, reef hazards, and local lineup etiquette before each session.
Our East Cape surf tours pair experienced local guides with tailored break selection so you spend more time in the water and less time scouting. We handle logistics, safety briefings and equipment so you can focus on scoring waves – whether you want a relaxed longboard day or to chase high-performance rights.
We offer small-group lessons, private guided tours, and multi-day surf packages that combine East Cape with Cerritos or Costa Azul on the same trip. Reserve early for high season and tell us your skill level so we can match the ideal breaks for your group.
Q: Are East Cape breaks suitable for kids?
A: Some sheltered East Cape spots offer gentle waves for older kids and beginners; many breaks are more appropriate for experienced riders – ask about kid-friendly options when booking.
Q: What if conditions aren’t ideal?
