Stole this from the Las Palmeras Surf Camp website. David is such an awesome human. Here he is teaching Zion to surf. Those kids are gonna be ripping in a few years. Can’t wait to see David, Karla, Dylan and Zion here very soon… Let’s go!
Here is a recent email he just sent to us about the new goings on over at Camp Asu. Check it out!
Hey Josh! Yes, we are now right on the point in front of the takeoff at Asu. Our old place is right in front of the last 1/4 of the wave looking up the point, our new place is right in front of the first 1/4, the take off, and looks down the wave as it peels away. It’s a really exciting point of view, puts you right in front of the main take off when you are on the beach and you can still see the entirety of the wave, but it really puts you in an intimate location with the takeoff. It’s very exciting.
The energy on our new land is amazing. Building under a high canopy of old coconut trees, we are right on the point, so we have the wave straight out front and to the right and then the sunset to the left. In our old place, out at the beach, we looked directly into the sunset to see the surf, the new place is much easier on the eyes. We are also still the only camp where you can wake up in your bed, sit up and see the surf out the window. This is one of my favorite things about Asu, to wake up and be right in front of it. I can’t live anywhere else anymore…
Right now we are starting in March by accommodating up to 6 guests in my spacious 3 bedroom house, I am calling it the Big House for now. My wife and kiddo are living in Bali for the season, so it’s just me and them, looking for the best surf of the day. We have 3 rooms. A master bedroom with a queen size and a single bed with attached ensuite bathroom. The second room has 2 single beds and the bath is a shared bath not attached. The third room is a spacious second story loft with one queen size bed and 2 single beds. There is a spacious living room and small kitchen and breakfast nook.
We are building a separate kitchen and dining room with an area for ping pong and foosball will allow people to have some additional space to spread out. There will be a TV there for slideshows of surf pics and the daily surf report where i post up screen shots of the daily Bouyweather reports and windy.com forecasts.
The first of 3 private and stand alone 2 person bungalows will be done in May. They can be set up with 2 single beds or one queen size bed. The second bungalow will be done in September, and the last one will probably only be in operation by next season. These bungalows will have the option for using AC for an additional fee. We are also building a big common area/game area and then a gym but those are likely not to get finished until 2019. Come on out!

Looking at the models, October is looking like the new prime time for south swells.
The WAM shows decent sized south swells starting at the end of the week with possible good waves for Saturday with a wind shift from North to Southwest (offshore). There are multiple lows out in the South Pacific and it looks like decent sized surf for Mexico for the next few weeks.
First swell is forecasted to be starting around Wednesday with buoys at 3ft 20 seconds. This swell peaks Friday the 6th with bouys at 5ft 19 seconds. Swell drops into the weekend with more activity and better wind starting Saturday / Sunday 7th and 8th of October.
Low tides are in the mornings right now, with the lowest tides this weekend around 10am.
Schools back in session, crowds are mellow, sand is still hanging in there. This is good window to make a move!
Get in touch with us if you want to come down and enjoy Mexico this October.
1 surfer: $165.00 (US Dollars) per person
2 surfers + $150.00 (US Dollars) per person

I have been following a series of storms in the South Pacific, and looking at the models, the start of September could be very interesting for Mexico and Central America. Right now there are 3 solid swells showing up on the WAM with a possible XL swell around the 15th of September.
Wind looks light and variable for Salina Cruz at the moment with best window starting the 10th of September, and really clean on the 12th and 13th with low tides are in the middle of the day starting on the 8th and working back to early mornings by the 15th of September.

Let’s get you down there.

Book now and get a 10% discount off of the normal price for you and your group. Let’s Go!
Current forecast looks good as well roll out of August and into September. Sand bars are set up at the points still. The last swell pattern due to the direction actually brought sand back.
We currently have space for your group so if you are interested in booking a strike mission or a planned trip get in touch with Josh and he can help you assess conditions, flights and other variables and book your trip.
There has been some good waves being ridden down in Salina Cruz this last couple of weeks. Check David getting shacked!

Aaron Bierman surgical strike from this August down to Las Palmeras Surf Camp. He scored!
My good friend Aaron Bierman scored some epic waves down at Las Palmeras Surf Camp last week. Surgical Strike paid off and he scored 4 epic days of pumping surf on a quick mission. It always makes sense to watch the swell and wind models and get down there for a mission. Not everyone has the ability to do this, but I try and keep my eye on it everyday, so if you are looking for a strike mission let me know and I will do my best to keep you in the loop.
Just got a text message from Earl over on the epic Isle of Asu a few minutes ago, talking about glassy, double over head rifling lefts all afternoon with a secret mission to the right in the morning. It’s windy and flat here… Anyone want to go? Pretty easy choice if you have the time. Hit us up if you want to make the mission happen.
We are so pumped on the new camp down at Las Palmeras. Beach front, ocean views, pool, 5 minutes to either point. Can’t wait to go back this June. Who’s going? Let’s go…
