K38 surf guide

K38, also known as El Morro, is a popular surf spot located in Mexico, known for its lively scene and consistent waves. While it can get very crowded, especially during peak times, surfers keep coming back for the quality surf. The spot is situated close to tourist developments, which sometimes adds to the hustle and bustle around it.

The surf here tends to favor a south swell, with the best conditions showing up on a stronger west to northwest pulse during low to mid tide. K38 usually handles sizes from 3ft (about 0.9 meters) and breaks over an uneven reef, mainly producing fast, hollow rights. There are also some lower quality lefts that can get shallow on the inside, but the rights are generally what most surfers come for. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can paddle over to K39, which offers an outside-breaking reef with some decent quality lefts and rights when the swell picks up.

When you're heading out, it's worth noting that the preferable wind direction is northeast, which helps keep the conditions clean. All surfers from intermediates can enjoy the waves here, as long as you’re mindful of the crowd and the reef below. The local vibe can vary, so it’s good to be respectful and share the waves to keep things chill.
