Matanchen is the name of both the bay and one of the towns located just south of San Blas, Nayarit on the Pacific coast of Mexico. It is known for its exceptionally long surf break. Las Islitas, one of the spots on Matanchen Bay, is documented by the Guiness Book of World Records as having the 'World's Longest Surfable Wave" at 5700 feet. One local surfer familiar with the conditions was quoted as saying "one quarter to half mile waves are not uncommon." [1]
