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 September, Playa El Mojón experiences solid surf conditions with an average swell height of 1.5m and a strong average period of 14.5s, indicating well-organized, powerful waves. The swell direction is predominantly from the south-southwest (SSW), with 25.24% of waves in the 1-1.5m range and 26.89% in the 1.5-2m range, making it the most consistent and productive direction for surf. The south (S) and southwest (SW) directions also contribute significantly, particularly in the 1-1.5m and 1.5-2m ranges, while other directions are negligible. Wind conditions are favorable for surfing 43% of the time, with light to moderate speeds (0-20kph) coming mostly from the northeast (NE) and east-northeast (ENE). However, stronger winds (20-30kph) can occasionally disrupt conditions, particularly from the NE and ENE. Overall, September offers reliable, medium-sized waves with good power and shape, best suited for intermediate to advanced surfers, especially when winds remain light or offshore.
