Punta Conejo
Punta Conejo is one of Mexico's most remote and rewarding waves—a world-class right point hidden along the wild Oaxacan coastline. When south swells hit with the right direction, the point produces 300-500 meter rides that peel with mechanical perfection over rocks and reef. The journey to get there is part of the adventure, requiring either a boat trip or a long, rough drive through rural Mexico. Those who make the effort are rewarded with empty lineups and pristine waves.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of wave is Punta Conejo?
Punta Conejo is a point break in Oaxaca Coast, Mexico, that mostly breaks right.
What swell works best at Punta Conejo?
Punta Conejo picks up swell from the SSE round to the SSW, and it's best when it's coming straight out of the S. That's a tight window, so it needs the swell direction to line up. It starts working at around 0.6m and handles up to about 2.4m, with the sweet spot around 1.4 to 1.9m. Period matters too: aim for 15s or longer, as anything under 12s tends to be weak. These are the numbers our scoring uses, so treat them as a guide rather than a promise.
What wind is offshore at Punta Conejo?
A NE wind is dead offshore at Punta Conejo, and anything from the N round to the E keeps it clean. The morning is typically the best window, roughly 5am to 10am. Light winds from other directions can still be fine; strong offshores can make it hard to get into waves.

Punta Conejo is at its best around low tide.
