"Casa El Mirador", Salina Cruz Surf Tours new Surf Camp is now open as of May 2011. The new camp is brand new modern construction with full amenities located on a private hilltop compound w/commanding ocean and surf views just minutes from the area's best surf breaks.
The arid badlands that border the Gulf of Tehuantepec are reminiscent of the Central Baja and are no more hospitable. Access in this area is difficult and sketchy, and because of the variety of set-ups and changing wind, swell and tide conditions, an experienced local surf guide and 4x4 is essential. Salina Cruz Surf Tours has its own 4x4 fleet of off-road trucks and is ready to handle all your transportation and guiding needs.
The surf in this region ranges from intermediate to expert in difficulty level. There are many fast, hollow waves for shortboarding and also several classic points for longboarding. The best season is from mid-April to mid-October. A maximum of 12 surfers are booked w/Salina Cruz Surf Tours per week, and are divided up into smaller tactical groups for surfing averaging 3-5 surfers each. The trip is open to parties ranging from 1 individual to groups as large as 12, and is recommended for core surfers looking to maximize time in the water but not seeking a touristy experience.
The Salina Cruz region has little to no tourism infrastructure whatsoever and is virtually untouched by development. Salina Cruz is a blue collar Mexican industrial town 2 and ½ hours East of Huatulco with an oil based economy featuring a large Pemex plant, oil refinery and commercial port. Although it is not touristy, it has all major services.
