The Stormrider Surf Guide: Mexico

Reliable Surf Travel Information | 28 pages

Geographically speaking, Mexico is usually considered more a part of North America than Central America but from a cultural and political perspective it is more akin to it's southern Latino neighbours on the isthmus. Surf-wise, it is a different world from the SoCal hustle and bustle, starting off arid and rocky in Baja, but Þnishing humid and sandy in Chiapas. Scoured by 3 seas, diversity is the theme, offering the legion of mainly US visitors every wave shape and height available from the big, challenging bombs of Todos and Escondido to the smaller, perfect, impossibly long rights of Scorpion Bay and Las Islitas.

Throw in the possibility of hurricane swell from unusual directions and these Windward and Leeward Islands offer a rich diversity of wave-riding possibility.

The Stormrider Surf Guide: Bahamas and the Greater Antilles

Reliable Surf Travel Information | 24 pages

The Caribbean divides quite evenly into three major groups of islands. The thousands of islets and cays of the Bahamas flank the large, continental islands of the Greater Antilles, while the far-þung volcanic specks of the Lesser Antilles create the trade-wind lashed leeward and windward islands. The Bahamas are fully exposed to the North Atlantic swells and block much of the action for Cuba, but Hispaniola and particularly Puerto Rico are not only wide open to any pulse, the 2nd deepest trench in the world plummets just offshore. Concentrated swell energy hits the Greater Antilles every winter from North Atlantic depressions and frontal activity, conjuring up the Caribbean's biggest and gnarliest waves, plus the summer hurricanes might just light up the sleepy south coasts, if you're lucky.
