Out Here.

The kickoff is officially here. Mexico opens the tournament against South Africa at the Azteca today at 12:00 PM our time, and the corridor is ready for it.

Thanks to everyone who weighed in last week. I pulled together the master list of where folks are heading to catch the games, and you will find it a bit further down.

Find your spot, and pass the link to a neighbor who might be looking for a screen. And as always, if you have something for the board, get it in.

Here is what is up for the week.

Where to Watch the World Cup

The energy around town is already shifting. With the 2026 FIFA World Cup officially kicking off right here in Mexico, you can feel the anticipation building from the dirt roads of Pescadero down to the breaks at Cerritos. Whether you are rooting for El Tri, cheering on your home country, or just looking for a cold beer and an excuse to celebrate with the community, we have you covered.

First off, a huge thank you to everyone who chimed in on our quick poll about where to watch the games. We combined your community input with some direct outreach to local bar and restaurant owners to find out exactly who is firing up the screens. Here is your Dusty Burro guide to where you can catch the action, grab a bite, and share a few cheers this month:

Community Note

Respect the South Swells. The summer south swells are rolling in, which means the local beaches are moving a lot more water right now. If the ocean looks totally flat when you first pull up, give it ten minutes. Waves travel in sets, and those quiet windows are often just a lull before heavier water pushes through. It is a good time of year to grab a seat and read the water before wading out, and to give visiting friends a quick heads-up about the changing conditions.

Let’s make some music in the garden.

free  •  Every Friday  •  1:30 pm

There is nothing quite like an afternoon spent trading songs in the sun. The garden at Tecolote Bookstore has become a fantastic hub for community music, and they are hosting two open jam sessions every weekend, all year round.

Fridays at 1:30 PM: The Guitar Jam Group. Bring your guitar, grab a cool drink, and add your sound to the mix alongside @daturamagik, @lorenamadrigal947, @jenjaywong, and @jenelleaubade.

Saturdays at 2:00 PM: The Ukulele Club takes over the courtyard.

Both gatherings are completely free, fun, and open to all ages and playing levels. Whether you are working on your first few chords or want to lead the group in a folk-rock classic, there is a seat open for you. Grab your instrument and meet them under the mural on Militar, just across and up from the TS Surf Shop.
