The Ranch
Edit SpotAbout
am going back in march, i must like it. Long or short board. you pick. bring food and drink if your going to stay awhile
Atmosphere:
When you do see people here...they're surf-ready americans who won't let you near their waves...fairly "tourist" protected. But when there isn't anyone wet, it's a great fun place to practice and rip it up! It gets insane it is normaly bigger than most of the other breaks so if it gets to big you can go elswhere.
Additional Info:
Great spot! Easiest to come in on boat. drop off in water...hit big sets of 8-10' heavy walled waves...nice face! very fast...good for beginners too if you're ready to commit! There's a clear point, where you can choose lefts and rights...very clean wave!
Location
Loading...Access
The easiest way to get here, even if you've rented a suv, is to take a pancha (fishing boat) from one of the fishing villages north of Zihuatenejo. You can hire fishermen for very little
30 min drive north from Troncones...hard to find by car first time
