San Augustin is a surf spot located in the beautiful Bahias de Huatulco. It's a scenic area that offers a laid-back vibe, making it a nice place to hang out for surfers looking for a chill day on the water. While it may not be known as the best surfing destination, it has its moments, especially when the conditions align just right.

To catch some decent waves at San Augustin, you'll want a big S swell, as it faces Southeast. When the swell comes in, you can expect it to handle sizes around 3ft (about 1 meter). The waves can break over both uneven reef and sand, offering a mix of beach breaks that produce lefts and rights. For the best experience, aim for low to mid tide and keep an eye on the wind, as the northwest winds are generally preferred. This spot is beginner-friendly, so if you're new to surfing, it can be a good place to get your skills dialed in.

Aside from surfing, the area around San Augustin is part of a protected tourist bay, which can limit wave quality at times. On days with a huge S swell, you might find more action, but overall it's not a hotspot like some other surf spots. Local bodyboarders seem to prefer this place when the conditions are right, enjoying the unique features of the waves here.
