XESURF-AM (540 kHz) is a Mexican radio station licensed to Tijuana, Baja California, serving the San Diego–Tijuana metropolitan area. XESURF airs a Spanish-language Christian radio format. It is operated by Zion Multimedia Inc. located in Downey, California.

XESURF's transmitter site is located near Mexican Federal Highway 1D in Playas de Tijuana.[2] By day, it is powered at 25,000 watts, with its signal heard throughout much of Southern California, including the San Diego and Los Angeles metropolitan areas, as well as northern Baja California. But 540 AM is a clear channel frequency. So to avoid interference at night, XESURF must reduce power to 100 watts at sunset.
