Playa Carmen surf guide

Surf: Playa Carmen is better suited to improvers and intermediates at all tides, plus a reef at the north end is good at high tide. Good dry season exposure to NW swells for fatter, slower, longer rights and shorter steeper lefts. Environment: Moderate crowds, a lot of whom will be with the surf schools.
