Revolcadero surf guide

Revolcadero is one of those surf spots that might not pop up on every surfer's radar, but it's got its own charm. Located on the beautiful Bahia de Puerto Marquez, it's super easy to get to, thanks to its close proximity to Acapulco. The beach has a fun vibe, with thumping clubs and stunning scenery on the side. While it's definitely not the heavy hitters like Pascuales or Puerto Escondido, Revolcadero is worth checking out if you're in the area.

The surf here can be a bit inconsistent, but when the conditions are right, it can turn into an enjoyable experience. It's an often peaky beachbreak that delivers waves ranging from about 4ft (1.2m) to 12ft (3.6m). The optimal swell direction is from the SouthWest, but it can also handle swells from the South and NorthWest. The waves tend to break both over uneven reef and sand, offering a mix of point breaks, primarily on the right. Best conditions usually come with a NorthEast wind and can be surfed during all tide levels, especially at low, mid, and high tides. This spot is really more suited for experts looking to ride shortboards, funboards, longboards, fishes, or even bodyboards. Stay tuned during the seasons of summer and autumn for the best chances of catching good waves.

Access can be tricky, especially since some parts of the beach are lined with exclusive resorts. That said, the crowd factor isn't too bad most of the time, and the local vibe is quite mellow, making it a decent place to get some waves without too much hassle. Just remember to pay attention and avoid turning your back to the ocean while you’re out there!
