Going surfing. Other than that, haven't planned a thing. Leave in 3 days. What should I not miss?

@Wiley Watson and @Pete Correale any help?
Go to Barra De La Cruz. It’s the best wave in the area by far and most consistent. 3 hours south of Puerto. Stay in Hualtulco. Fun town.
I second Wiley on Barra, I went down there last spring and scored a week of super fun waves. Barra is a machine, there is a reason why it became so well known after it was put on the map by the Rip Curl search event years ago.
There are also a handful of other great waves in the area that fly low under the radar.
I definitely recommend hiring a local guide while you are there. Wiley put me in touch with his guy when i went on my trip, and it really made a difference, he also had access to some locked gate waves that were empty.
We had a nice AirBnB in Hualtuco, but there are some places to stay at right near Barra.
Send me a message and I can give you the guides contact and a link to the AirBnB we used….

Surf Report:
Went to Zicatela and got absolutely pummeled by the waves. A surfer drowned there ~4 days before I got there. I just got thrashed by those waves.
Best food I've had in a long time.

On an interesting note, I wore a watch rated only to 100m WR, a Tissot chronograph without screwdown crown and had no issues. That settles that for me.

Shit is heavy down there! How hot was it? Scorched earth? Thanks for the report
