About this experience
Costa Azul is one of the most recognized surfing areas in Los Cabos, where Pacific swells create waves suitable for a wide range of skill levels. Its consistent conditions and scenic coastline make it an ideal place to learn, practice, and experience Baja California Sur’s surf culture. What makes this private lesson unique is the personalized instruction. Surfing involves much more than standing on a board—it requires understanding wave movement, timing, positioning, and ocean awareness. Your instructor adapts the lesson to your experience level, helping you build confidence and improve technique at a comfortable pace. Beyond catching waves, this experience offers a deeper connection to the ocean and local surf culture. By the end of the lesson, you'll leave with new skills, greater confidence, and a better understanding of the relationship between wave energy, coastal geography, and the art of surfing.

Amazing lesson for beginners
My boys had the best time with Alan and Saul. They were the sweetest and most patient.
Response from the operator: Hi there, Thank you so much for your review! We’re thrilled to hear your boys had such a great time learning to surf with Alan Blyth and Sol. Teaching beginners is one of our favorite things to do, especially when it’s young surfers discovering the sport for the first time. Alan and Saul are both incredibly patient, encouraging, and passionate about helping every student build confidence while having fun in the water. We’re so happy your family had such a positive experience and that the lesson left a great impression. Moments like these are what make surf lessons in Los Cabos so special. Thank you for choosing High Tide Los Cabos. We hope to see your family back at Costa Azul for more waves and more smiles on your next visit to Baja California Sur! High Tide Los Cabos 🤙🌊🏄♂️☀️

Family Waves❤️
We took our family of 6, kids ages 11-17. We had the best time with Allen and Luis. Finding the car at the port was easy. They were so friendly! We felt welcome and safe in and out of the water. We all caught wave after wave and had the best time! Highly recommend Luis and Allen. They were great with our kids and taught us so much. Thank you!
Response from the operator: Hi there, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We absolutely love hearing that your entire family had such a great time surfing together in Los Cabos. Alan Blyth and Luis will be thrilled to hear your kind words. Teaching a family with kids ranging from 11 to 17 years old is always a fun challenge, and one of the things they do best is creating a safe, welcoming environment where everyone can learn, build confidence, and have fun at their own pace. We’re especially happy to hear that everyone was catching wave after wave! Watching families share those first surfing successes together often becomes one of the most memorable parts of their vacation in Baja California Sur. Thank you for mentioning how easy the pickup process was from the cruise port and how comfortable you felt both in and out of the water. Providing a smooth, stress-free experience is just as important to us as the surfing itself. Thank you again for choosing High Tide Los Cabos and for trusting us with your family’s adventure. We hope to see all of you back at Costa Azul on your next visit for even more waves and great memories together! High Tide Los Cabos 🤙🌊🏄♂️🏄♀️☀️

Great for first timer
My guide is Luis. He is such a wonderful coach for a first timer like me. Super encouraging, and full of energy. I caught the waive of the day with his help! 10/10 recommend!
Response from the operator: Hi there, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear your first surfing experience was such a success. Luis will be incredibly happy to hear your kind words. Teaching first-time surfers is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do, and Luis has a special talent for making people feel comfortable, confident, and excited from the very first wave. His energy and encouragement help turn those first attempts into unforgettable moments. And congratulations on catching the wave of the day! There’s nothing quite like that feeling, especially when it’s your first time surfing in Los Cabos. Those are the moments that often turn first-time surfers into lifelong surfers. Thank you for trusting High Tide Los Cabos with your introduction to surfing. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you back at Costa Azul the next time you're in Baja California Sur. Who knows—next visit you might be ready for even bigger waves!

Why this scores 82
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Los Cabos Surf Lesson at Costa Azul: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cabo San Lucas.
How much does Private Los Cabos Surf Lesson at Costa Azul cost?
+
Prices start at $60 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cabo San Lucas usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Los Cabos Surf Lesson at Costa Azul take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cabo San Lucas is not rushed.
Is Private Los Cabos Surf Lesson at Costa Azul worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 80 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cabo San Lucas, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Los Cabos Surf Lesson at Costa Azul?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Los Cabos Surf Lesson at Costa Azul suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Los Cabos Surf Lesson at Costa Azul?
+
Around 28 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cabo San Lucas can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cabo San Lucas and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Los Cabos Surf Lesson at Costa Azul start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cabo San Lucas within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cabo San Lucas?
+
On Outty we rank every Cabo San Lucas experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Humpback Whale Watching Tour in Cabo San Lucas, Cabo Desert Off-Road & Beach Horseback Combo and Tequila Tasting, Cabo All-Inclusive Private Beach Club with Open Bar and Buffet. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cabo San Lucas?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cabo San Lucas?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
