San Blas Surf Guide

About 80 miles north of Vallarta, the coastline begins jutting far enough back out into the Pacific to pick up spring and summer S swell pulses. San Blas marks the beginning of this fortunate geological shift. Just south of town is the famous Stoner's Point, which is a mellow, cobblestone righthand pointbreak. Other than Stoner's and Santa Cruz on the other side of the bay, a lefthand point, it's pretty much beachbreak heaven in and around San Blas.
