A Cabo Surfing Experience to Remember
Our private Cabo San Lucas surfing lessons are designed to get you up and riding your first wave as seamlessly as possible. With your own private group, you’ll get extra attention and assistance from your professional surf coach.
During these private lessons, we go to Cerritos, a spot close to Cabo San Lucas on the Pacific side. Cerritos is one of the best surf spots in Cabo from November to March, but we also offer private Los Cabos surfing lessons at Costa Azul during the spring and summer when the waves are good.
Not sure if you want the private or group experience? Contact us and we’d be happy to chat about your options!
Cerritos is a world-renowned surf spot with a beach break. It’s exposed to northwest swells that can light up for days in super clean conditions. Cerritos is a great spot not only for the experienced surfer but also for beginners looking for an awesome Cabo San Lucas surfing lesson. Our professional coaches are there to make you feel safe and confident during your lesson. It won’t take long for you to master the surfboard and ride your first wave!
You can also check out our group Cabo surf lessons if you’re looking for a lower price point. We also highly recommend taking a private Cabo snorkeling tour with glass-bottom kayaking so you can enjoy even more time out on the water!
These private Cabo San Lucas surfing lessons run from the 15th of November to the 15th of March each year.
For your safety, please notify us of any medical conditions in advance of the lessons.
