My young adult daughters (20 and 17) desperately want to take a few surfing lessons on our next family trip. We missed out when we were in Hawaii. Anyone know which would be a better location for surfing on the pacific side - Cabo or Puerta Vallarta/Riviera Nyarit? Even better if someone can recommend a tour or company that offers surfing lessons! TIA

PV proper is not a place for surfing. Further north there is Sayulita which is a surf town and there are quite a few surf schools there.
Cabo has good surf but the beaches are further north from the town. (70 kms)...
Winter is the best season for surf.
I think Sayulita would be the best especially if you are staying in Riviera Nayarit. Palladium Vallarta All inclusive has a surf break right there.
Easy to take a bus to Sayulita from PV and north ( Nuevo, Bucerias, Punta de Mita)

Alan awesome - this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for that info!!

Susan - we were at the Grand Palladium Vallarta recently & our daughter (12 yrs) took surf lessons right at the resort. The instructors were amazing! We have friends that stay at this resort but also surf elsewhere in the area. Feel free to pm me if you have more questions.

Maureen this is great, thanks so much! I have not narrowed down to a resort yet so will definitely be looking at this one!

High Tide Los Cabos , they are fantastic. Depending on what time of year you surf a different coast in Cabo. They will take you to the best spots. Daughter loved them. They were fantastic.

Jana great thanks! We will be there late March/early April.

We used this company in Sayulita and the guy was amazing. Super patient and friendly.

Deanna thanks!

Susan we went this past Christmas

I would check out puerto Escondido area as well

Jennifer thanks

Yes, hard to get there.. but Puerto Escondido is the best for surfing lessons, it was the highlight of our last trip .

Check out La Lancha and Punta Mita, both north of Puerto Vallarta, not as far as Sayulita, less busy, and more suitable for beginners. Although Sayulita is a great surf town to check out as well.

Cerritos Beach just north of Cabo on the Pacific side.

Chris second with that!

Nosara Costa Rica and south down that entire coast … great surfing.

Surf Diva, La Jolla, CA (close to San Diego); Sayulita, Mexico

Sayulita - surf culture going strong!

Sayulita.
