Its wide sandy beach and variety of wave conditions make it suitable for surfers of different experience levels. Beyond learning how to stand on a board, surfing teaches participants how to read wave patterns, understand ocean movement, and develop confidence in the water.

Surf's up! Book with these guys.

Alan and Fernando were exceptional! Super fun to be with, very informative in their instruction and lesson. Made learning how to surf easy... Or is easy as it could be. Prepare to be sore the next day if you've never done it. We highly recommend Alan and Fernando with high tide.

Response from ViatorApril 05, 2026

Thank you so much for this awesome review! 🤙 We’re stoked to hear you had such a great time with Alan and Fernando—they truly are an incredible team and love sharing the stoke with every guest. Learning to surf for the first time is no small feat, so major props to you for getting out there and giving it your all (and yes… a little soreness the next day just means you did it right 😄). We really appreciate the recommendation and your kind words about our Cerritos surf lessons. It means a lot to our crew. Hope to see you back in the water with us again soon! #HighTideLosCabos #SurfCerritos #LearnToSurf #CaboSurf #SurfAdventure #LosCabosActivities #SurfVibes #FirstWave
