Surf Guide
With its machine-like, impossibly long walls, Conejo is one of the most popular, dependable, and downright fun waves in all of Salina Cruz. Showing its best face on large, long-period, straight south swells – the same ones that light up Puerto Escondido a clicks north – this sandbottom righthand point can be as good as anywhere on earth for the average regular-footer. Ten turn rides are standard here, and when the sand is just right, you can often luck into a few dredging tubes on the inside section. Of course, perfection breeds crowds, but if you practice patience, pay respect, and wait your turn, just a few good waves here can make your trip.
