Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of wave is Stoners?
Stoners is a point break in San Blas, Mexico, that mostly breaks right.
What swell works best at Stoners?
Stoners 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 0.9m and handles up to about 2.4m, with the sweet spot around 1.6 to 2m. 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 Stoners?
A NE wind is dead offshore at Stoners, and anything from the NNE round to the ENE keeps it clean. The morning is typically the best window, roughly 6am to 11am. Light winds from other directions can still be fine; strong offshores can make it hard to get into waves.
What tide is best at Stoners?
Stoners is at its best around mid tide.
