Just got back from a trip to Punta San Carlos in Mexico. Got 65kg of gear over there for free with Qantas (awesome) and stayed with Solosports for 3 weeks. Campsite, service and food were all excellent.

Apparently I had unseasonal weather for spring so the wind was more often on the lighter side than crazy 30+ knots that is more common around now. Definitely was not a bad thing - 15-20 knots is plenty to make the place work and the waves stay nice and clean. That said we still had days where guys were pulling out 4.0's. Swell was rarely below head high at The Point and Chilli Bowl for most of the time.





When the wind didn't blow options included SUP/surfing, mountain biking, hiking or just relaxing and reading a book.


The wavesailing conditions are great for basically any level - the cross off wind makes it very easy to ride down the line and the waves peel for ages and are without much consequence. I didn't score it with a big swell but it wasn't uncommon to get waves from the Point to the Chili Bowl with 8 turns/smacks/aerials linked together. The local guys running the camp were saying I got relatively skunked so it would be awesome to the see the place on a massive south swell.





The Beachbreak in front of the camp offers, peaky waves that are shorter but probably had a bit more punch than the Point if the swell wasn't too small.




Overall it was definitely a great trip and I will be back there for sure - would recommend every wavesailor to make the effort to visit at least once and tick it off the bucket list.
