Tenexpa

Tenexpa is an exposed sandy beach break in West Guerrero that typically offers surf throughout the year. It is described as working at any time of day, with conditions that can be very clean in December. The break is open and exposed, so swell and wind often directly shape wave quality. For surfing, the wave character is consistently reported as moderate power with mixed peeling behavior. Swell direction is commonly given as southwest/south, and the spot is noted to work across all tide stages. Ride length is typically described as medium, with many sessions producing rides roughly in the 50–150 meter range depending on sandbar configuration. Wind can strongly affect the look of the surf. Offshore winds from the north to north-northeast are reported as creating cleaner waves, while afternoon Southwest winds can make conditions choppier due to the sea-breeze development. Mornings are often calmer/glassier before the breeze strengthens. Safety is a major focus at Tenexpa: rip currents are commonly reported—especially near Boca de Tenexpa (where a river meets the sea)—and occasional river-mouth debris (driftwood and other material) can appear after heavy rains. With no lifeguards or dedicated rescue services reported, riders should be self-sufficient and plan around offshore conditions that can complicate self-rescue. Crowding is described as occasional/sometimes crowded rather than consistently packed.
