We found the best fish ceviche we have had so far at a small beach palapa in Tenacatita
Cabo Corrientes is a natural dividing line on the Mexican coast. North of the cape there are fairly steady northwest winds, typically strengthening in the afternoon as the land heats up and weakening overnight as the land cools down. South of the cape, the wind is generally light.
The cape also acts as a small compression zone – as the wind encounters the land mass, the flow accelerates to make it around the point. The wind is normally 10 knots or so stronger around Cabo Corrientes than it is elsewhere.

In addition to the wind, the cape is also a dividing line for currents. North of the cape, the predominant current flows from the north to the south. South of the cape, the current flows the opposite direction.

All of this combines to mean generally sloppy seas and potentially uncomfortable conditions around the cape. So, we choose to wait for a good weather to head north around Cabo Corrientes. Luckily for us, Tenacatita is a good place to wait, and there are plenty of friends there waiting with us!
