Respect reef conditions
Many Salina Cruz breaks sit over rock or coral—wear reef booties if you’re uncomfortable and always check entries and exits with your guide.
Morning sessions are best
Offshore winds typically favor early starts; pack a quick breakfast and be ready to leave at sunrise to score cleaner waves.
Bring a quiver
Have at least two boards (a performance short and a sturdier mid-length) to adapt to variable surf sizes and wind.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Protect skin and reef ecosystems—apply reef-safe SPF and reapply after each session.
Shortboard or quiver of boards
Multiple boards let you match conditions from smaller point waves to larger reef sections.
Leash and traction
A strong leash and reliable grip are critical for powerful, fast-breaking waves.
Rashguard / thin spring wetsuit
Protects from sun and board rash; thin 1–2mm suits help if mornings feel cooler.

Reef booties or sturdy water shoes
