Valentinos
Edit SpotAbout
Don't know what this place is like on a day to day basis. But for the week that I was there it was great. We had some of the best waves of our 3 month Mexican surfing vacation right here. Within 100 metres of a McDonalds restaurant!
Additional Info:
Don't bother to drive. Just get a bus or taxi. The best break is the right that peels off the point. If it's breaking kind of weird, get out and walk around to the other side of Valentinos where you will find a left point break. Just watch out for the rocks that tend to pop up in front of you as the wave sucks up!

Go to the city of Mazatlan, Sinaloa. Get a golf buggy cab to the local McDonalds. From there, walk across the main road where you will find a big, ugly, medieval looking white castle. It is a night club called Valentinos. There you will find the point.
