Playa El Mojon - surf spot statistics

Playa El Mojón in Mexico offers consistent surfable conditions year-round with a strong dominance of ground swell, making it a reliable spot for experienced surfers. The best months for optimal surfing conditions are from April to September, when the swell is most consistent and the average swell size peaks at 1.5m. During this period, ground swell accounts for 95-99% of the swell, ensuring clean, powerful waves with minimal wind interference. Wind conditions, though not perfect, are relatively better in these months, with good wind days occurring around 41-45% of the time. March and October also provide solid conditions, with slightly smaller swells (1.2-1.4m) but still high ground swell prevalence. The winter months (November-February) see smaller swells (1.1-1.3m) and worse wind conditions, with only 35-40% good wind days, making them less ideal compared to the mid-year peak. July and August are particularly noteworthy due to the largest swell size and sustained ground swell dominance. Overall, Playa El Mojón is a year-round destination, but the best balance of wave quality and wind conditions is found from spring through early fall.

December at Playa El Mojón offers decent surfing conditions with an average swell height of 1.1m and a solid period of 13.0s, providing consistent, well-formed waves. The swell distribution is best from the SSW (26.3% of waves in the 1-1.5m range) and SW/NE directions, with a mix of mid-sized waves and occasional larger sets up to 2.5m. The wind is ideal for surfing 37% of the time, predominantly from the NNE and NE, which tends to be offshore or sideshore, keeping conditions clean. However, stronger NNE/NE winds (20-40kph) occur about 20% of the time, potentially creating choppier conditions. The spot handles a variety of swell angles but works best on SSW-SW swells, which deliver the most rideable waves in the 0.5-2m range. Expect a good balance of smaller, manageable days and occasional punchier sessions, suitable for intermediate to advanced surfers. Wind consistency is moderate, so early mornings often provide the cleanest conditions before breezes pick up. Overall, December is a reliable month with fairly consistent surf and manageable wind patterns.
