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.

November at Playa El Mojón offers solid surf conditions, with an average swell height of 1.3m and a strong 13.9s period, ensuring well-spaced, powerful waves. The dominant swell directions are SSW (59.4% of waves between 0.5–2.5m) and SW (14.7% in the same range), providing consistent, rideable energy. NE swells (7.7% of waves, mostly 1–2.5m) occasionally mix in, adding variety. Wind conditions are favorable 41% of the time, with lighter winds from the SE–SSE (mostly 10–20kph) and stronger offshore flows from the NNE–NE (often 10–30kph, sometimes gusting higher). The NNE wind direction can create choppier conditions, but mornings often see cleaner waves before winds pick up. Expect a mix of waist-to-head-high waves, with occasional bigger sets (1.5–2.5m) on SSW swells. Ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers, especially on days with lighter SE winds or early sessions before NNE winds strengthen.
