Huatulco has excellent deep sea fishing. From the end of November until early March yellow fin tuna, snapper and dorado are in season due to cooler water temperatures. March to the end of May Wahoo is also available. Sailfish season is in July and coincides with the rainy season, a time when the rivers fill and spill into the sea creating warmer ocean waters. July and August also host Blue Marlin.

Huatulco
is not known as a surfing and skim boarding destination, however, surfers have been
observed catching a wave or two at the quaint beachfront community of
La Bocana. Surf and boogie boards can be rented at the local
beachfront restaurants as well as a cold beer or soda to wash down the
salt water.

Jet skiing, sailing, wind surfing or sea kayaking are available at Tangolunda Bay, Santa Cruz Marina and La Entrega
Surfing or “acuaplano” in the native language, is a favorite pastime of locals and tourists. You will have to travel a bit to get to the biggest and best surfing conditions. The first Huatulco surfing and boogie board contest was held May 1, 2003 at Copalita beach.
You can learn to surf by contacting any of the schools. Or if you are an experienced surfer, you’ll want to go to the mouth of the Rio Copalita, which is the only surfing location near Huatulco. Puerto Escondido is a world-class surfing destination 2 hours west of Huatulco, favored by experienced surfers.
