A. Because of its beaches offering all levels of waves, you can surf all year in Puerto Escondido. The rainy season runs from June to October, and consists of sunny days mostly with clouds that bring the rains habitually during the evening. This season offers a much greener landscape compared to the dry season. In addition, it allows us to make some tours only available during this season, such as the river tubing or go to see the professional surfers on the beach of Zicatela, as the big wave station in Puerto Escondido corresponds to the rainy season. During this period, we usually surf classes at Carrizalillo beach. When we have smaller waves, we give classes at Punta de Zicatela. Well, depending on the swell, we look for the best beach to give surf lessons.
