More about Punta Colorados

Punta Colorados is a remote, seldom-breaking reef located near La Ribera in Baja Sur. When it does fire with southeast swell and southwest offshore wind, it produces powerful, fast-moving waves that require solid experience to navigate. The break is sharp and shallow with submerged rocks creating both the shape and the hazard; water temperatures stay warm year-round, typically around 28–29°C. Summer months, especially July, offer the highest likelihood of rideable conditions.

The wave receives relatively little attention and remains largely uncrowded. No major historical documentation or notable competitions appear to define this break; it exists on the periphery of the broader Los Cabos surf scene rather than as a landmark destination.

Punta Colorados sits within the La Ribera area, a small fishing community roughly an hour from Los Cabos airport and positioned as a gateway to Cabo Pulmo National Marine Park. Direct access is straightforward by vehicle from La Ribiera town center, though detailed parking or entry protocols specific to the break itself do not appear in available sources.
