Costa Azul Surf Lesson Edit listing

The Costa Azul Surf Lesson is a 3-hour High Tide Los Cabos outing near San José del Cabo, with two hours devoted to coaching and water time. It welcomes first-time and experienced surfers from age 6, includes a soft-top board, rash guard or wetsuit, bilingual instruction and tourist-zone transportation, from $115 per participant.

Why This Costa Azul Surf Lesson Stands Out

• Two seasonal classrooms: this lesson uses Costa Azul from March 15 to November 15, when High Tide operates its summer surf program there.
• Small coaching ratio: the operator assigns one guide or coach for every three participants.
• Equipment is included: soft-top surfboard and rash guard or wetsuit are provided; fiberglass boards can be requested in advance.
• Transport is built in: round-trip pickup covers central San José del Cabo, the Tourist Corridor and Cabo San Lucas hotel zones.

What to Expect

1. Hotel-zone pickup or meeting at Costa Azul near Zipper's Bar & Grill.
2. Board fitting, beach orientation and a short technique briefing with a bilingual coach.
3. Guided practice on the sand before entering the water.
4. Two-hour surf session with coaching matched to the participant's level.
5. Refreshments at the shaded beach camp and return transportation.

Pricing & What's Included

Participant: $115 USD · Observer/non-surfer: $50 USD. The same $115 participant price applies to adults and children age 6 and older.

Included: round-trip transportation in the main Los Cabos tourist area, soft-top surfboard, rash guard or wetsuit, bilingual instructors, shaded camp, refreshments and snacks.

Not included: gratuities, personal expenses and alcoholic beverages. Hotels outside the core tourist area use the Plaza Gali meeting point.

When Is the Best Time for a Costa Azul Surf Lesson?

High Tide operates this Costa Azul lesson from March 15 to November 15, with departures at 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM. The operator recommends the 9:00 AM option because mornings historically have less wind and cleaner waves. From November 15 to March 15, its surf program moves to Cerritos Beach.

Who It's For

Worth it for first-time surfers, families with children age 6 or older and returning surfers who want level-specific coaching. Skip it if a participant is pregnant, has significant back problems or a serious medical condition; the beach setup is not wheelchair accessible.

Know Before You Go
