Punta Conejo (Salina Cruz)

Punta Conejo (Salina Cruz) is a legendary right-hand point break known for long, peeling walls and very high-quality rides when conditions line up. The wave is described as world-class, with open sections and barrel possibilities on the right swells, and it typically holds size well as swell increases. The spot works best when offshore winds come from the North, with winds described as steady and relatively clean (about 73% clean). Summer is highlighted as the strongest period, especially July, and the wind pattern is strongly influenced by regional pressure-driven offshore flow. For surf, the optimal swell direction is south to southwest, with an indicated working swell-height window of about 1.0 to 2.5 meters. Ride length can be exceptionally long—on optimal days up to around 300 meters, with typical rides in the ~150–300 meter range—and the break is described as exposed overall. Access and safety are major considerations. The area is associated with conservation-area restrictions, access is commonly described as requiring 4x4 through sandy tracks, and there are notable hazards including sharks and rocks. Spot-level rescue is described as not available and lifeguards are absent; medical care is available in Salina Cruz (around 20–30 minutes away), so plan accordingly.
