Re: Michoacán Mexico
There are more surf breaks around Pascuales aside from the board breaker?

Re: Planning two weeks thru Oregon and Cali in May
The furthest south I'd consider going would be Santa Barbara. Or possibly Ventura. No desire to get any closer to LA than that.

Re: Michoacán Mexico
La Ticla and Nexpa areas are where’d want to spend most of my time and perhaps check out a few beaches in between n around those two. Highway 200 is reasonably safe if you stick to the coast side, don’t travel at night and don’t drive inland? Been reading in the news of farmers n military getting ta...

Re: Planning two weeks thru Oregon and Cali in May
Ok cool. Trip planning for early Sept. That was the one and only time I did a surf trip to Washington and Oregon and it worked out pretty well for me then. Not how far south I'll end up going. I just it depends on how much time I take along the way. For surfing if I'm not going to end up going as fa...

Re: Michoacán Mexico
Made a couple trips to the Baja Sur, both in November, nice area but surf options were limited around where I was staying, and only going off on the Pacific Side. Stayed at Cerritos a couple year ago and it was busy, with a lot of new development going on compared to the trip prior when there was al...

Re: Michoacán Mexico
Oaxaca seems to have a bit of a weird system for surf. A lot of hype around 'escaping the crowds" or "frontier surf if you're willing to explore" ... maybe that used to be the case? ... But been reading that a lot of the breaks are super crowed and many apparently have restricted/limited access unle...

Re: Michoacán Mexico
I think I’ll go meet my friend down in Michoacan in November. Oaxaca would be a great March or April spot but don’t think I can afford it right now. At least not both in the same year, but hot damn the ski season sux this year in BC

Re: Michoacán Mexico
Trip would like be early April just after Easter or mid November. My friend who has been going down there for years is thinking about going back in November so it'd make sense to align the trip with his. I guess having a surf board on the roof of your vehicle is probably a good ideas so people know ...

Re: Planning two weeks thru Oregon and Cali in May
In an average year is September usually a better bet than May for swell and wind?
On Vancouver Island May and Sept are pretty similar.

Re: Michoacán Mexico
I’m Canadian so I guess that wont be a problem. I’d likely fly into Manzanillo. Spend a night or two in barra de navidad. Then head down to La Ticla for a week, then maybe Nexpa. Alternatively fly into Ixtapa n spend time around Troncones and Saladita then maybe up to Nexpa. Seems odd to me La Ticla...

One of my teachers taught me how to communicate with sharks and the sharks told me they might eat me.

Re: Planning two weeks thru Oregon and Cali in May
This maps makes me scared. https://sharkwatchsa.com/userdocs/image ... ration.jpg I'll surely get eaten?
Also is September somewhat similar to May in terms of weathers, wind and swell?

Re: Michoacán Mexico
The coastal highway is not too sketchy if you avoid driving at night?
Listed accommodation seems a bit sporadic between Manzanillo and Ixtapa

Re: Michoacán Mexico
If I went in the Spring I'd likely fly into Ixtapa and head north to Troncones, La Saladita and maybe Nexpa. If I went in the Fall/Winter I'd likely fly into Manzanillo and head south to La Ticla, and maybe Nexpa plus a couple beaches in between. The area certainly seems far more remote and sketchy ...

Michoacán Mexico
Does anyone have experience travelling for surf with a vehicle in Michoacán state? Looking to get away from the mainstream tourist destinations visiting the stretch between Manzanillo and Ixtapa though travel advisories say to flat out not to Colima, Guerrero, or Michoacán. Been the the Baja a coupl...

Re: Planning two weeks thru Oregon and Cali in May
Alternatively I might do the trip in early Sept vs mid May. Maybe my tentative trip is too ambitious for two weeks and I should spend more time exploring central n south Oregon. Would be nice to see a coast other than the pacific NW temperate rain forest. Big Sur looks very pretty. Your snow pack mu...

Planning two weeks thru Oregon and Cali in May
Planning a two week surf trip with a side order of mountain biking, driving down from the BC interior mid May. I'd consider myself an intermediate surfer. I've spent some time on the Washington coast and went as far south as Oswald state park in Oregon. I have an idea of places I'd like to visit and...
