Stoners Point (San Blas)

Stoners Point is a world-class right-hand point break near San Blas, producing long, powerful, hollow rides over a boulder/rock bottom. The wave is described as classic and capable of high-speed walls and fast peeling/hollow sections when it’s properly set up. The break is tuned to South to Southwest swell wrapping into the bay, with the wave starting around about 1.5–2 m and able to grow substantially (holding up to about 4 m+ on bigger days). Rides are typically 50–150 m under normal conditions, and often lengthen to roughly 150–300+ m on good/optimal days. Access is part of the challenge: it involves driving to the end of Playa Borrego, walking along the beach to the river mouth, paddling across, then hiking through a short jungle path (with unmaintained footing). Wind direction matters—East/Northeast winds are described as giving cleaner offshore faces, while South winds can blow it out. The best month is repeatedly given as October, though a broader window of June through October is also associated with more consistent conditions. Safety is a priority here. Hazards commonly cited for the spot include sharp rocks/boulders, urchins, strong river-mouth currents/rip currents, localism, and crocodiles near the river mouth (with additional caution after heavy rains). Insect pressure from Jejenes/biting gnats can be intense around dawn and dusk, making high-concentration repellent important. Emergency coverage is limited in San Blas, and rescue/self-recovery can be difficult due to the rocky/local conditions, so go prepared and surf within your limits.
