La Ticla
La Ticla is a quality left point break on the Michoacan coast that gets hollow and powerful when south swells light it up. The wave breaks over a cobblestone reef near a rivermouth, offering long rides with barrel sections on the bigger days. The small village has a growing surf community but maintains a mellow, off-the-beaten-path vibe. It's an excellent option for surfers looking for quality lefts without the crowds of more famous spots.
