Costa Azul, hurricane swell

The beach in front of Costa Azul, San José del Cabo, not the corridor hotels. Zippers is a right that lights on a hurricane pulse, a sand peak by the resorts, a name people still use when the south is in. Los Cabos is the town. This is the peak.

When.

July to October

South and hurricane swell in late summer. A small day is just the resort beach.

Worth knowing.

  1. 1. Hurricane season is why the name exists. Winter northwest is a different ocean here.
  2. 2. The peak sits in front of Costa Azul, not the airport side of the corridor.
  3. 3. Watch a set from the sand. The inside can dump.
  4. 4. San José is the town. Cabo San Lucas is the other end of the strip.

Go.
