Surfing and Whales: Whale Watching at La Lancha, Punta de Mita

Riding Waves and Watching Whales:

Picture this: you're out in the Pacific Ocean, catching waves under the morning sun. As you ride the surf at La Lancha, the excitement goes up a notch because right in front of you, you see a huge fin slapping the water. Humpback whales, known for their cool moves and songs, often make appearances here.

Let's learn a bit about these gentle giants:

Seasonal Visitors: La Lancha becomes a hot spot for whale watching in winter when humpbacks migrate to the warm waters of Nayarit to have their babies.Humbacks have the longest migration on the planet. Some populations travel as far as 8,000 kilometers! Humpbacks prefer to feed in the cold waters, while warmer oceans are preferred for breeding and giving birth.

Vocalists: Humpback whale songs are usually only performed by the males, and can last for hours on end. The song only is about 10-20 minutes but will be repeated, and these songs are shared by all the males in the same ocean. These songs will gradually change over the years, and the population of whales will all switch to the new song.

Unique tails: These giants of the ocean have mainly black and grey bodies, however, the white patterns on their pectoral fins, bellies, and the undersides of their tails differ from one another. Scientists use these patterns to differentiate between whales and to identify and study individuals.
They still face threats: There's a small group of orca whales around and these predators sometimes hunt humpback calves. Although this is a threat to Humpbacks the primary source of death for them is humans. Caused by entanglement in fishing fear, boat strikes, pollution, and harassment. When going Whale watching in Punta Mita , or anywhere, be sure to verify the tour. You can also just paddle out while surfing and keep an eye on the horizon to go whale watching and surf!

Humpbacks are a favorite for Whale Watching: Humpbacks are renowned for being one of the most playful species of whale. They love to jump out of the water and slap the water with their fins , making quite the show. Each year these amazing creatures come to the Mexican

Pacific Ocean (Punta de Mita area) to breed and give birth, showing us just how majestic they are! We are incredibly lucky to be able to go surfing and whale watching at the same time!

Surfing at La Lancha isn't just about the waves – it's about sharing the ocean with these amazing creatures. Keep your eyes open for whale spouts, jumps, and tails as you paddle out. The thrill of surfing becomes something more when you're part of their world, connected by the waves. Dive into this unforgettable adventure and let the waves take you to one of Mexico's most enchanting coastal experiences.

Best Places To Surf in March

thing provides a breathtaking thrill like Mexico’s winter surf. Forget Feb-March curled up at home, waiting for waves that aren’t coming at your local lineup—we know you’re SO over hibernating. So, trust us, that diving into Mexico’s winter waves may just be the best way to spend your March.

“But isn’t the water too cold for surfing?”

This is one of the most common questions we hear about surfing in Mexico’s winter, and the answer is—Heck no! That couldn’t be further from the truth.

With an average water temperature of 24°C (75°F) in Feb-March, surfing in Punta Mita in winter isn’t as icy as most people think…

Sorry Whim Hoff enthusiasts—there are no ice baths here!

Still curious about the best winter surf destinations? Or maybe you’re bored with your winter routine and wanna add a li’l excitement into the mix… Whatever your reason, we’re here to inspire you!

So, keep on reading to find out WHY some of the best surf trips February-March are in Mexico’s Punta Mita and Sayulita according to our community and the locals.

Like thinking the water is cold, many assume winter surfing Mexico is full of stormy waves and powerful currents. This is also SO not true. Winter storms aren’t on our checklist down at the local lineup!

Throughout the cooler months, Punta de Mita’s North Winds and North Swells wrap around the breathtaking coastline, leaving the area offshore or side offshore. In layman's terms, the waves are smooth, organized, and IDEAL for surfers of all levels.

Think. How would it feel to escape your dark and dreary 9-5? Are you sick of rain and crowded 6 pm lineups? Would you swap your office attire for a board? If so, this might be the place just for you!

Surfing in Sayulita in winter doesn’t have to be a solo affair. Not at all!

When you dive into the waves in this stunning destination, you’ll have no worries about anything lurking below the surface… because the water is SO clear you can see through it. Yup, we’re talking about clean crystal waters that aren’t freezing.

If you’re lucky, you could bump into some of the locals—and we’re not talking about sharks or the Wild Mex team! We’re talking about turtles, tropical fish, dolphins and whales!

It’s common for surfers to see all kinds of marine life and an array of tropical coastal birds while surfing in Punta Mita in winter. But don’t be afraid! These beach dwellers are friendly and happy to share the shores with you. Smile and wave, and they’ll be on their way!

The best winter surf destinations don’t only offer adrenaline-fuelled memories. It’s likely that you’ll also encounter local wildlife too!

The best places to surf in March have to include plenty of sun! Though this season is cold in some countries, we’re lucky to have lots of rays and warm water temps 24°C (75°F), the perfect winter escape!

Many surfers opt for boardies or a bikini, but if you’re not used to these water temperatures you can bring your own wetsuit top—or even rent one here at Wild Mex!

If you’re interested in an extra layer, our top recommendation for surfing in Mexico in winter is a rashy or wetsuit top. Not only do these picks make you look extra gnarly, but they’re ideal if you’re interested in a protective layer from the sun or wind, and add grip between you and your board when you’re paddling for the waves!

We’ve got your surfin’ needs covered!

aking on the winter surf season isn't a task for pros only! The best places to surf in February-March have spots for all levels—even if you’ve never picked up a board before!

If that’s the case, we recommend a lesson or two first with a local instructor to ensure your first experience is a pleasant one!

Check out our Punta Mita lessons here!

Our team of Wild Mex surf and adventure pros love working with new surfers and watching their confidence grow. Whether you wanna learn the basics or need a quick re-cap, our pro surfers have the right lesson or course for you.

Yup—no prior surf knowledge needed. Just a passion to cruise the Surfline!

The best winter surf destinations are known for their beaut’ beaches, cozy water temps, AND consistent wave patterns. But do you know what the true secret ingredient is?
- The quality of the local surf school. Don’t believe us? Check it out here!

So, why go anywhere else?

Winter surfing Mexico-style is all about waving the winter blues buh-bye. Who wants to sit in an overheated office when you can surf across turquoise waters instead? Not us!

Take some time to enjoy the toasty seas with the help of the Wild Mex team. We’re on hand throughout winter to offer different boards for all styles, conditions, and preferences. From the classics to modern picks, we’ve got a board waxed and ready waiting for you!

All Wild Mex boards can be reserved or rented for the week (or as long as YOU want!) There’s no limit on the waves you can catch here.

Buuuut, we don’t just cater to confident surfers. Beginners are ALWAYS welcome, and we even have a dedicated CAMP! Our beginner and intermediate lessons are designed to match your needs. We’ll have you cruisin’ across the surf in a matter of days.

Get to know our instructors and lesson plans online here.

BUT don’t be late! OR you’ll miss the winter waves for good.

Dusting off your suitcase? That’s the spirit!

We’ll save an ice-cold drink for you and a board too!
See you on the beach….

Surf Camp In Punta Mita Day 5 – Putting Your Skills To The Test!

We’ve spent four ACTION packed days learning to surf in Mexico together, but do YOU remember what you’ve learned? Or will you FLOUNDER when put to the test?

Day 5 is the last day of camp, and we’re not letting you slack! You get one last day of THRILLING surfing in the Pacific Ocean. BUT this time, you’re taking the lead.

Uh-huh, it’s just like Blue Crush–AND you’re the star.

From remembering common surfing mistakes to recapping wave selection, we give you a final chance to make yourself proud with your hard work. Whatever you need to practice, Day 5 is the day to master the skill.

This isn’t a solo mission, though. Our pro surfers are always on hand to give you help and pointers. Pushing you to learn is our goal, buuuut we’re also in the water to give you extra tips, tricks and guidance amongst the waves.

Hey, teamwork makes the dreamwork–and helps you catch the GREATEST wave ever.

You’ll be skimming the waves like Poseidon, we promise.

Ready to BRUSH UP on Day 5? Scroll down to see what’s on the menu.

Can YOU handle the surf? Let’s do this!

There are some common themes throughout the Wild Mex surf lessons, and binary wave selection is one you just can’t ignore.

On Day 5 of the course, we want YOU to actively think, ‘Can I Catch This Wave?’ It’s time for you to take your coastal destiny into your hands–go forth and grasp that gorgeous surf!

Of course, we’ll rehash the common mistakes you make as a beginner surfer to keep them fresh in your mind. However, with four prior surf sessions under your belt, you’ll be able to answer these important questions yourself.

Common surfing mistakes happen! But at this point, most of our surfers are confident with binary wave selection. Yup, we’re talking about YOU!

When you reach Day 5, getting dunked and missing potential waves will be a thing of the past. Byeeeee, baby!

Now you’ve honed your dynamic wave selection skills, it’s time to think about moving from beginner skills to intermediate surfing. This might sound a li’l scary, but we KNOW you can handle it!

Forget considering if you can catch the wave (psst, you can!). It’s time to ask yourself, ‘Where Do I Need To Be In Order To Catch This Wave?’ We’re upping the stakes, but you already have the knowledge to play!

Here, we’re all about mastering your wave reading. No crystal ball is needed to predict where waves will break! Picking the right location - surfline is a tool you already know. We’re just putting all the steps together!

After you’ve read the room (AKA wave), we help you locate the spot with the longest potential ride. Or, as our pirate friends say, ‘X Marks The Spot.’ *Arghhhh*.

Now you’re picking the right location - surfline and combining binary wave selection, you’re pretty much ready to single-handedly take on the ocean.

So, why stop here?

As you keep catching waves, we’ll help you add more complex maneuvers and skills into the mix. Learning to surf in Mexico never stops. There’s always a new bag of tricks to explore. And boy, our professional Wild Mex team has a LOT up their wetsuit sleeves.

Being an eternal student is so our thing.

We always move at a pace you’re comfortable with. If you wanna push your surf skills to the max, we’re on your side to help. We’re also cool with recapping the mistakes you make as a beginner surfer.

Any time in the water is time spent well. Yeeew!

Surf Camp in Punta Mita is all about adrenaline and that rush only surfing can give! So, why are we saving energy??

Staying still and surfing might seem incompatible, but hear us out…

When you know where to position yourself, which paddling technique to use, and which waves are actually worth catching, you save much more energy. Why? Well, this gives you even more *oomph* to catch those worthwhile waves.

No one wants to clock the perfect wave but be too tired to grasp it. That’s a complete vibe kill.

Using up your energy waaay too quickly is a common mistake you make as a beginner surfer. However, we’re on hand to remind you that not every wave is worth YOUR time.

Be selective in yo’ battles.

Finally, you get to spend Day 5 of surf camp in Punta Mita practising your craft.

Uh-huh, we give YOU the floor.

On the last day, we turn the tables and ask YOU what you want to work on. Identifying which skills you need to work on is essential, and we’re here to help you strengthen your knowledge.

Wanna work on picking the right location - surfline? You got it! Prefer fixing the common mistakes you make as a beginner surfer? We’re cool with that! Want to know how to properly wax your board? Maybe not the best time… but that’s important, too!

Once you nail those pesky hiccups, you’ll be the best on the beach.

Now, let’s put those surfing fundamentals to work–go!

Learning to surf in Mexico is an experience like no other, and we’re glad we had the chance to introduce you to coastal bliss.

We hope you’re ready to smash your goals out on the surf–nothing makes our pro surfers smile more than taking a team from their land legs to competent surfers! It’s like watching birds leave the nest, oh-so-sweet!

BUT the fun doesn’t stop there. No, no, no…

We also offer a surf camp in Punta Mita for INTERMEDIATES! Now you’ve leveled up your skills, it’s time to show them off. With a collection of OVER 300 different boards, EXPERT tips from local guides, and more CHALLENGING breaks, our intermediate camp is the next step for you.

Day 4 Surf Camp in Punta Mita: Surfing Rules & Etiquette

Your board is waxed UP, your new bikini or boardies are ON, and the sun is shining DOWN on the surf camp in Punta Mita. All signs are saying GO for it! Buuut, are they really?

If you rush in too fast, you might fall into the trap of common surfing mistakes. And who wants to start their surfing holiday on a negative note?? Not us!

Luckily, Day 4 of surf camp is here to set the record straight with a comprehensive beginner’s guide to surf safety & surf etiquette. If you're up-to-date with the previous surf camp days, you might be thinking ‘MORE surf etiquette’?? But hang with us, this might be the most important lesson of the batch.

Day 4 is all about preventing unwanted situations in the water—no neg’ vibes here! Our expert coaches walk you through common mistakes you make as a beginner surfer, allowing you to learn and grow in a safe setting. From the Surfline to ocean communication, we’re talking ALL about surf etiquette.

Pure surfin’ fun on land - and water!

Wanna WOW your friends from home? Scroll down to learn more about Day 4’s activities. OR explore Day 4 explained on YOUTUBE here.

We know, we know, it probably seems like surfing rules & etiquette is one of our top 10 favorite phrases. There IS a method to our madness, though!

Before we jump back into the crystal clear Punta Mita waters, Day 4 starts with a debrief on all you need to know about safety and etiquette—think of these as the basic rules of surfing. Without them, you might end up in a SPLASH, CRASH AND PUMMEL!

This handy talk ensures YOU know how to keep yourself and others safe, all while maintaining chill vibes in the water. After all, who wants to be surfing in a tense space??

Imagine you’re in line at your fave store… If someone jumped the queue, the tranquilo mood would be gone in seconds, right? Everyone in the store would be bummed, pushed back, and wouldn’t the mood just fall flat?

You wouldn’t do it in the store, so why would you do it in the ocean? Exactly!

Don’t stress! It happens to everyone once or twice. Buuut, our expert team is here to help you navigate the mistakes you make as a beginner surfer. That’s what Day 4 is ALLL about!

Thanks, WildMex pros!

Learning to surf in Mexico isn’t a chore! Faaar from it.

These safety issues can be resolved with one general rule: picking the right location - Surfline. Yup, it’s that simple! Harmonious surfing comes down to getting in the right position and waiting your turn.

Surfers should always give priority to the surfer with the longest potential ride.

Sound like a foreign language? Let’s decode it!

The surfer closest to the wave’s peak (most powerful section) always gets the right of way. Why? Because they’ll get the best enjoyment and momentum out of the wave!

Awesome—always give priority to the longest ride.

But, how do YOU get yourself there? That’s one for our professional surfers to show you in person at the beach!

We talk about common surfing mistakes A LOT on Day 4, but do you know what we’re really talking about?

No stress if you don’t!

Did you know you actually have to learn about mistakes you make as a beginner surfer BEFORE you can correct them? Uh-huh! We teach you the complete DOs and DON’Ts to keep you on top surfin’ form 24/7.

During Day 4, we give YOU the low down on dropping in too early, not waiting for your turn in the Surfline, and paddling wide to ensure you stay out of other surfer’s way. Polite surfing is the best surfing—no wave stealin’ here!

The basic rules of surfing will be on the tip of your tongue in no time! All you gotta do is turn up and enjoy.

Cowabunga!

Our beginner’s guide to surf safety & surf etiquette is not only here for your benefit.

No, no, no.

We’re here to help EVERY surfer by teaching you how to keep the tension low in the water. As we touched on before, cutting the line can create a bad mood all around. If you’re unlucky, you might bump into some moody surfers. Oh no.

So, how do you keep it cool?

Cutting the tension involves learning to make eye contact with other surfers, using hand signals, and, most importantly apologizing if you slip up—trust us, it happens!

But hey, we’re a judgment-free zone!

Tension can be defined as mental or emotional strain, and this won’t help you at the peak of the wave!

Surf camp in Punta Mita is all about harmony and epic waves. Keeping it chill is at the forefront of our surfing practice. After all, we take to the ocean to be free, not to cause havoc…

The basic rules of surfing are a need-to-know topic.

However, knowing the waves inside-out is paramount too!

Yup, Day 4 is also jam-packed with full-on surf practice to make sure you experience the upfront thrills of the Surfline. Sea salt, sand, and surf - what more could you want??

Learning the facts and figures has its place, but true learning happens when you apply them in the ocean. Whether you’re keen on surfing in the whitewash or green waves, the Wild Mex experts will be on hand to support and guide you.

We’ve got your back AND your boards…

Learning to Surf in Mexico Doesn’t Stop Here…

It’s time to put your surfing rules & etiquette knowledge to the TEST with Day 4 of surf camp in Punta Mita! We know you’ll ACE it.

Day 4 is the official MIDDLE point of our 7-day surf camp, and we LOVE seeing your progress at this point. And yes, there’s ALWAYS progress from our surfers!

Welcome to Day 3 of surf camp! If you’ve just finished Day 2, you’ll know allll about the safety and technicalities of surfing. You may have even caught a wave already - cowabunga!

Buuuut, Surf camp in Punta Mita doesn’t stop there. Day 3 takes your knowledge to the next level. Yup, it’s time to learn how to catch a wave when surfing without nose diving OR losing the wave!

Keen to get ahead? Keep reading to learn more about your Day 3 activities. OR check out Day 3 on YOUTUBE here.

Grab your board, and let’s go!

So, you’ve been catching white water waves, but you want to learn how to catch green waves?… Let’s make this happen!

White water waves are relatively easier to catch. Heck - sometimes you don’t even need to paddle! Though we looove relaxing and enjoying the smooth surf, sometimes a challenge is on our to-do list.

Green waves are a step up from white water, but we know you can do it. These waves don’t push you forward, so your surf destiny is in your own hands. And it’s time to grab it!

Here, the only force you’ll be working with is gravity - but we’ve got some tried and tested techniques to help you pop up with ease. Like Sir Isaac Newton, you’ll be the boss of gravity in no time—Simply trust our coaches to get you there!

Once your surf team understands how to catch a wave body surfing, we delve deeper into the science of green wave catching.

Kiss your body surfing goodbye for Day 3 - we’re focusing on big boards. Larger surfboards paddle MUCH faster, and we find they’re the best tool for catching green waves early on.

We make sure ALL surfers understand how to catch green waves from start to finish, and we add a lil’ science into the session for extra surfing knowledge. Our aim is to provide you with as much info as possible! Safety and science make a world of fun.

From scanning the open seas to applying green wave techniques, you’ll experience genuine freedom like never before.

How to catch a wave when surfing is easier than you’d expect! All you need to do is jump onto the right board and start paddling (with the right techniques). Our team of dedicated surfers are always on hand to teach you the ropes from day 1-7 of your surf camp.

The Wild Mex Surf camp in Punta Mita is designed just for you. Each day is expertly tailored to teach you the next steps without throwing you in the deep end. We’re all about gradual progress - no shocks or sharks here!
