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.

July at Playa El Mojón offers consistent surf with an average swell height of 1.5m and a solid period of 14.5s, producing well-organized waves. The dominant swell directions are SSW (27.5% of waves in the 1-1.5m range) and S (12.8% in the same range), with a notable portion of larger swells (1.5-2.5m) also arriving from these directions. This creates reliable, mid-sized waves suitable for intermediate to advanced surfers. Wind conditions are favorable 42% of the time, typically light to moderate (0-20kph) and coming from SSE to SSW, which often aligns well with the swell for cleaner faces. However, stronger NNE to ENE winds (10-30kph) can occasionally create chop. The combination of consistent south swells and manageable winds makes July a solid month for surfing here, though wind direction variability means checking daily conditions is advisable for optimal sessions.
