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.

October at Playa El Mojón offers solid surf conditions, with an average swell height of 1.4m and a strong 14.6s period, ensuring well-spaced, powerful waves. The swell predominantly arrives from the SSW (36.89% in the 1-1.5m range, 21.46% in 1.5-2m), followed by SW and S directions, providing consistent, mid-sized waves ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers. Winds are favorable 44% of the time, mostly light to moderate from the NNE, NE, or E, keeping conditions clean. However, stronger NNE winds (10-20kph at 8.26%) can occasionally create chop. Expect a mix of clean, rideable days and occasional wind-affected sessions—best surfed in the mornings before winds pick up. The spot works well with the SSW swell direction, offering hollow sections when bigger. Overall, October delivers reliable surf with good shape, though wind management is key.
