About
Café Surf operates on the southern Oaxacan coast of Mexico, one of the world's premier destinations for right-hand point breaks. Run by Gil and his team of local guides who have surfed these waters their entire lives, the operation focuses on finding the best waves each day based on conditions and your surfing level. They offer flexible programs from full-service surf trips with accommodation and private cooking to transport-only guiding for independent travelers.
Southern Oaxaca sits between Puerto Escondido and Salina Cruz, home to some of Mexico's most consistent and uncrowded waves. Café Surf was born from Gil's deep knowledge of this coastline and his passion for sharing it with visiting surfers. The team uses 4x4 vehicles to access remote point breaks that require local expertise to find, especially during rainy season when the roads become challenging. What sets this operation apart is the daily flexibility - rather than following a fixed itinerary, they read the conditions each morning and make the call on where to surf. For guests booking the Full Experience, a private cook prepares fresh Oaxacan cuisine throughout the stay, with meals ready when you return from sessions. The accommodation is in selected condominiums within gated communities in Bahías de Huatulco, chosen for their quality mattresses and amenities that help surfers recover between sessions.
