In Cabo. Water Taxi from town and about a 5 minute walk to the pacific side...Just find a guy driving around on a boat and wave him down, if they give you a price, tell them youll give them less, and they'll usually accept it. One of the best places to find a boat is on the marina, usually they give the cheaper rides. just make sure you tell them to pick you up.

This break is a classic shore break spot. The biggest tip for this spot is not to be infront of the wave before it throws over. (get in the barrel and enjoy!)
Atmosphere
This break gets very heavy..not for the beginner. Awesome close out barrels...

noahs ark - no such thing as sharks here ladies, i have been diving here for 2 years and seen only a local white tip 3 times, there is a sea lion colony but the difference in water temperature keeps the biters away, the only big things moving are the sea lions... and the damn cruise ships, which sometimes put a wake on top the incoming waves, bit more fun

It wasnt a shark...and if it was... - it wasnt gunna bite you. :). Bull Sharks are rather common, but this is a very FERTILE part of the ocean, plenty of food, and those fish arent looking for something to eat, especially something that looks rather strange like human. Anyways...I do get uncomfortable out their sometimes too. I've been out there alone with no one on the beach with 8 ft shorey...kinda scary I guess. Real Heavy wave. Catch the backwash off the rock into the wave for extra speed, and boost. Be careful...if you arent confident dont paddle out.

why - you should not be surfing here, the current is very strong and two lives have been taken by the current.
