La Ticla, Michoacan La Ticla produces ridable waves almost every single day, picking up virtually any swell. Waves break over cobblestones at the mouth of the Rio Ostula. Rights break to the south, with longer lefts breaking into a small bay to the north. Directly off the rivermouth you'll find a-frames breaking both ways.
Because of its consistency, La
Ticla is visited by surfers year 'round and can get quite crowded.
Nonetheless, there are plenty of days (and times of day) when you can get it
to yourself.
Even when it's “flat,” La Ticla
will produce small, waves out front just from wind swell. There are many days
I've surfed it at 2-3 foot with only a few people out (because most were “over
it” after surfing several days of solid swell the week before). But, if you
think about the fact that it's at least as good as your home break, it's
relatively un-crowded, and it's warm, you can't beat it.
Surfers
advice:
The best time to go is
probably early fall/winter, with November and December being good months
(though I and several friends have caught it good at least once every month of
the year). It's not necessarily the biggest, but November offers late-season
south's and December starts to show the west/northwest from way up north-well
groomed and fun. This is also definitely the most crowded time of year.
Getting there:
Off Highway 200
(Km 183)
between San Juan de Lima and El Farro.
After
the Rio Ostula Bridge
make a right and follow the along the road to
the town. If you miss the first turn off there is another further down
the road with a big sign "La Ticla".
