Playa Chac Mool Surf Guide

Chac Mool can get pretty fun - not just size-wise but conditions-wise, too. It breaks both left and right over shallow sand, thus offering the occasional barrel when the wind is light or offshore. Have a peek at Chac Mool anytime after sustained onshore winds or when a hurricane is spinning offshore.
