Punta Morena (Cozumel)
Cozumel, Mexico
🪸Sharp reef🏝️Remote
Punta Morena is the best wave in Caribbean Mexico, coming alive during Norte storm season when cold fronts push E-NE swells into the normally flat Caribbean. Located on Cozumel's east coast, the wave offers a rare chance to surf Mexico's Caribbean side, requiring specific weather patterns but delivering quality reef breaks when conditions align.
