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.

In May, Playa El Mojón offers consistent surf conditions with an average swell height of 1.5m and a solid period of 15.1s, indicating powerful, well-spaced waves, ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers. The swell direction is predominantly from the SSW (39.6% in the 1-1.5m range and 25.6% in the 1.5-2m range), providing clean, well-shaped waves with good energy. Swells from the SW and S also contribute, ensuring variety in wave angles. Wind conditions are favorable 43% of the time, typically light to moderate (0-20kph) from the NNE to SW directions, which helps maintain clean faces. However, stronger onshore winds from the WSW and W can occasionally disrupt conditions, but their prevalence is limited.

The spot works best with SSW-SW swells and offshore or light cross-shore winds.
