conditions & access

Best wind

Unknown; wave/tow access is the documented use

Season

West-swell windows reported by locals

Water

Long soft right over an outer reef when adequate swell arrives

Experience

Advanced reef-aware wave foiler with boat/local guide

Hazards

Reef and rocks inside, insufficient depth on small swell, cannot scope from shore, boat dependence and incomplete exit detail.

Parking & access

The better breaks are described inside gated Punta Mita and reached by boat; arrange current legal boat access with a local guide.

“Progression Project forum first-hand surf guidance identifies El Faro as a very long, soft right that can suit foiling when enough swell makes it break outside the shallow inside reef. It cannot be scoped from shore in the reported access pattern.”
