My trip to Troncones was incredible. I'm a research scientist at the
UW and I work ALL THE TIME. Visiting Troncones Point Surf Club was a
true experience of relaxation - a "getaway" (I stopped checking
email, willingly(!) after one day) - an experience I hope to enjoy
again in my life.
It was probably the third day in, I had awoken to the singing
birds (I chose to sleep on the outside deck of Cielo), made a fresh
pot of coffee and sat on the deck watching the hummingbirds float
about. I thought to myself "how am I tired, all I've been doing is
relaxing, napping, eating, swimming, and relaxing" ;) then I
realized - I wasn't tired, I was RELAXED! I hadn't felt that feeling
in so long, I had forgotten what it truly meant to feel ultimately
chilled out.
Patrick and Celine showed me an incredible time.
They made great food and sangria, we walked to the beach, watched
the sunset, went buggy boarding, went to the local bar for some
games, took a trip into Zihua and Ixtapa, shopped at the markets,
went to the hot springs, and visited the local animal refuge.....

The Troncones area boasts many great surf spots known to surfers worldwide. The great thing about this variety is there's good surfing somewhere along the coast in every season, for every skill level.
The closest spot is right in front, Troncones Point, but there are shore breaks up and down Troncones Beach, so you're almost always within walking distance of good waves when there's surf. Likewise, these are some fantastic, easily accessible spots both north and south of the Club. Troncones Point: This is a left-point break off a rocky stretch of beach, directly in front of the Club. Depth is about 6-10 feet at different points in the line-up and gets shallower in moderate range to the beach. There are some hazards to be aware of, so initial guidance from a seasoned rider would probably be helpful. Also, if you're not opposed to booties, it's a good idea to wear them. La Boca: This is a river mouth north of the Club that boasts great lefts and rights during the High Season (Nov. - Mar). La Boca is most easily accessible by foot; cars are not permitted on local beaches, which are sea turtle breeding grounds. Walking, follow the sandy beach about a half-mile past the Majahua Palms Resort. La Saladita: This spot is located off a point, with incredible, never-ending lefts; appropriately, it's locally known as "The Wave Machine." It's a long paddle, but a long ride, and everybody gets a wave. From the Club, it's an easy 30-minute drive north through the village of Los Llanos. We offer guided trips to Saladita by request. The Ranch: The Ranch: This area has hard, fast lefts and rights off a point. It's accessible by car and ponga (guided surf boat); the drive is north just over an hour, the boat ride is about one-half hour (the boat will stop at La Saladita on the return). Combined surf trips to Saladita and The Ranch are also available by car. To independently experience a wide range of locations and conditions, we recommend renting a car. Most areas are accessible by conventional two-wheel drive, but four-wheel drive vehicles are also available and can come in handy during the wetter summer months (late June through mid-September). If renting a two-wheel drive, it's wise to bring your own portable surf racks (four-wheel drive rentals are often equipped with roof racks). Overall, the terrain is pretty mild and you'll certainly spend more time in the water than off-roading; we've had several guests rent the smallest economy car available and experience no problems getting to The Ranch. If you'd prefer to avoid the expense of car rental, rest assured that the villages of Troncones and La Majahua are easy walking distance from the Hostel, and we offer affordable guided trips to the most popular local surf spots, and are happy to arrange guided surf tours by boat for our guests (with or without a boxed lunch). We do request a minimum of 24 hours' notice for boat trips, to allow our local partners time to prepare. If you don't care to haul your own board with you, rentals are available at the Hostel. Surfboards rent for $20/day, $125 a week. We've got the following boards to choose from:
The Hostel also has a surf board storage and repair rack where you can easily wax and make repairs to your board. The rack stores up to eight surfboards under the shade of a Palapa roof. For our regular guests we offer long term, secure, protected board storage. Prices available upon request
