Located in the Cabo Matapalo area, Hog Hole is one of the standout surf spots for those looking to score some decent waves. While getting there involves navigating 4X4 dirt roads that can be tricky, especially when rivers swell, the trip can be worth it. Accommodations can be a bit on the pricey side, but the collection of surf breaks is something to keep in mind if you're serious about your surfing.

Hog Hole is known for its fast, steep walls and is best served by a SouthWest swell. You can also catch some waves with South and West swells, but the quality tends to drop off a bit. This spot typically handles swell sizes well at around 3ft (0.9 meters) and has a very pointed wave direction to the right. Ideal surfing conditions pop up at low to mid tide, but it can hold up even when the tide is higher. Just be aware that this is a break for experts; the waves can be challenging, especially with the boulders that line the bottom and add to the complexity of the surf.

The local vibe at Hog Hole consists of a mix of locals and boaters that come over from Pavones, so expect some company in the water. The preferred wind direction is from the Northwest, which can help shape the waves nicely. Just keep in mind that when it gets big, the conditions can turn heavy and wild, so be prepared if you're planning to surf here.
