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.

February at Playa El Mojón offers decent surf conditions with an average swell height of 1.1m and a solid 13.6s period, providing well-spaced, clean waves. The dominant swell direction comes from the SSW, contributing to 30.35% of waves in the 1-1.5m range and 28.39% in the 0.5-1m range, ensuring consistent rideable surf. Cross-shore NE winds (NNE/NE/ENE) make up the majority of unfavorable conditions, occurring around 30% of the time with speeds of 10-30kph, which can create chop. However, 40% of days see ideal offshore wind angles (mainly from the W/NW), keeping surfaces clean. While larger swells (1.5-2.5m) from NE/ENE directions occasionally bring punchier waves, they account for only 6-9% of conditions. Expect mostly waist-to-chest-high waves with occasional overhead sets on select days. Advanced surfers will find the best windows during lighter WSW/W winds, which minimize surface texture. Overall, February delivers reliable surf with a mix of playful and powerful waves, though wind variability requires patience for optimal sessions.
