Surf destination

San Pancho

Mexico · San Francisco (Nayarit) · Intermediate · Advanced

A punchier setup that can get hollow on good swells. Better for surfers with experience and confidence.

San Pancho can offer powerful, clean surf and can get hollow when it’s lined up.

This is a great step-up zone for surfers who want to push performance, but it’s not the easiest ‘first lesson’ wave.
