Booking Tips for Surfers

1

Book Early

Peak surf season (Dec–Apr) sells out fast. Lock it in 2–3 months ahead.

2

Stay Close

Pick a place within walking distance to your home break — dawn patrols are sacred.

3

Check Storage

Ask if they have board lockers or rinse stations. Salty boards on tile = bad news.

4

Go Local

Family-run posadas often beat the chains on price, food and surf intel.
