You can get to Puerto Arista by bus from major towns in Chiapas / Oaxaca during mexican holidays (christmas and Semana Santa=easter). However, for the rest of the year, you will have to go for a cab. The spot is right at Puerto Arista beach. Just walk along the beach to find the best break.

Atmosphere
Totally empty if you don't go during Christmas or Easter.
I did a surf tour of Mexico in 2000.
I got there end of May, we were 3 tourists in a dead town. Only 3 hotels available. This is apparently the beach people from Chiapas go on holidays for Semana Santa.
