catch it off main peak best place to take off from. Don't park your car around the trailer park due to theft or it will be towed.
Atmosphere
Works year around. Pretty much open to any swell direction. Though it prefers a south or southwest to line up the point. Steeper north swells mush. Barrel off the take off when the swell is around seven feet and has the right tides working.
General
The wave is mainly a right, the left is poor. Very rocky a good pair of booties will help you safely navigate your way back to the beach. Very fun wave but can get very crowded on the weekend. One of the best waves in the northern baja and pretty consistent there is something to surf here usually just as long as the tide is not to low.

K-38 - I had one of the best sessions of my life here 3-4 years ago. I was half-drunk we had just paid off the cops and it was thunderstorming. The whole thing was shady. Plus we had to pay off the cops again when we got out of the water. still worth it.

Good Ol Days - Yep. I remember the rope and the old man. I went there in the 70s, had the best session there. Good memories.
