La
Ticla is a small town in northern Michoacan. It is best know for
its beach at the Rio Ostula. The best way to reach La Ticla is
by road. Buses are available but its better to rent a car as the
beach is located about 4 or 5 kilometers from the turn off the
highway.
Rio
Nexpa is at the southern most break in Michoacan. This is a very
popular destination for surfers with many places to stay and relatively
cheap food. This area has over a 180 degree swell window and picks
up all South and North-West pacific ground swells as well as tropical
swells which are amplified by a deep ocean trench as they approach
the coastt. The
rivermouth waves are world class with lengths of about 150 to
300 meters. The tides are powerful and can get upto 6-8 feet tall.
Recommended for experienced surfers. Rio Nexpa gets its largest
swells in the summer but surf can be expected year round. The
climate is tropical, with high air temperatures in the 80s during
the arid winter months and in the 90s during the wetter, summer
months.
