Cacas Point

Cacas Point is a localized right-hand point break off the Acapulco coast that’s described as reasonably exposed, but still quite fickle: it only works when conditions align properly. The spot needs a substantial south to southwest swell to wrap into the western entrance of the bay, and it tends to deliver best results when that swell size is present. On a good day, surf quality is reported around 3.3, with waves forming peeling lines over a rocky bottom. North winds are typically the key for cleaner offshore conditions, helping the break come together rather than getting blown out. The physical approach is unforgiving. Entry is rocky with limited sandy patches, and there are submerged hazards including rocks and sea urchins. Strong rip currents are possible during larger swells, and pollution risk after heavy rain is also noted. Overall, it’s an intermediate-oriented, low-profile destination that’s sometimes crowded on the best swell days—mainly frequented by local surfers. Bring reef protection, be prepared for current and rocky entry hazards, and don’t rely on marginal swell.
