You are safe to assume that if we do not update the blog and the SPOT is not tracking we are having a good time. Zihuatanejo was a great town and treated us well. We quickly met some local surfers who were willing to give us rides to surf, which ended up being pretty good due to some south swell that showed up. We got on a strict regiment of waking up before dawn to get our gear together and go meet our ride every morning.
The bulk of our surfing was done at a beach called Playa Linda. It predominantly breaks left over cobblestones. This set-up is thanks to a river that lets out at the end of the beach. Also thanks to this river and it’s marshy surroundings are warnings of crocodiles! (side note: this spot was the first place I ever surfed outside of the U.S. , thanks to my mom taking me here when I was 16!)
Another beach we were able to catch a couple at was "The Ranch". For those that surf, I am sure you have surfed a “Ranch” somewhere. It seems to be a quite popular name. Now this was a proper left hand point-break. There is potential all around this area for more waves as well. Next time we plan to bring a tent and a few days worth of rations, and do a bit of camping around the uncharted breaks.
Thanks to Daniel and “Johnny Be Good” for helping us get wet!
