Ahijedero (Tecomán)

Ahijedero (Tecomán) is an exposed sand beach break on the Pacific coast of Colima, known for consistent surf that can work at any time of the year. The waves are described as very powerful and hollow, with conditions most often aligning with south to southwest swell energy and clean winds. Wind-wise, the spot favors light offshore flow from the north to northeast. Early in the day, winds can be more manageable, but the onshore sea-breeze pattern typically strengthens by mid-afternoon—so conditions are generally best in the morning before the wind turns more onshore and chop the face. For wave character, sources describe heavy, hollow peaks and fast, short-to-medium rides that frequently end in heavy shorebreak. The setup is also sensitive to swell size: while it can handle significant size, on very large Pacific swells the wave can close out and become extremely dangerous. From a safety perspective, the biggest concerns highlighted are heavy shorebreak and strong rip currents/powerful undertow, along with stingray risk and a remote feel. There is no lifeguard presence reported at the spot, so riders should be self-sufficient and prioritize early-morning sessions when the wind is most favorable.
