Playa Linda surf guide

Playa Linda is a popular surf spot located in the Zihuatanejo area of Guerrero, Mexico. It’s known for its mellow vibe and user-friendly waves. This surf area features a left-hand point break along with a shorter right option. It tends to attract a consistent crowd of both local and visiting surfers, making it a lively place to hit the waves. The best time to surf here is during the summer months, when the spot picks up consistent south swells.

The surf at Playa Linda is generally soft, making it a good choice for beginners and intermediate surfers looking to enjoy some longer rides. The waves can range from chest to head-high (about 1.2 to 3 meters) and typically break over boulders and sand. You’ll find that the optimal swell direction is southwest, but it also handles swells from the south and northwest. It’s ideal to surf during low, mid, and high tide. The north-east wind is preferable for better conditions. The left waves are the main attraction here, often providing good rides, but it’s also worth noting the right can offer some fun moments too.

Accessing Playa Linda is straightforward – just drive down to the beach, walk across some rocks, and paddle out. Be mindful that the currents and rips can be a factor, so it's good to keep an eye on conditions, especially after heavy rains since the river mouth can muddy things up. Whether you're on a shortboard, funboard, longboard, or even a fish, Playa Linda can cater to various riding styles, making it a versatile spot for all kinds of surfers.
