Pacific coast:
May to October: the prime season along the central and southern Pacific coast, with long-period swells bringing the most consistent and powerful surf.
November to April: generally smaller, cleaner, and more approachable coast-wide, with warm weather and reliable offshore mornings; the most accessible period for beginners and longboarders
Baja California:
May to October: smaller and warmer overall, with occasional south swells bringing fun surf to select spots further down the peninsula.
November to April: the main season, with consistent North Pacific swell and clean offshore conditions lighting up the exposed points and reefs; best for intermediates and above.
