San Miquel Surf Guide

Located just a few kilometers north of Ensenada, San Miguel is an amazing right hand point break. When it is firing, San Miguel is a fast, lined up, hollow wave that serves up tube rides and long perfect walls for aggressive shortboard surfing. This is without a doubt one of the best righthanders on the West coast. Because of easy access and visibility from the toll road, San Miguel is often crowded and has some heavy locals that are not the most welcoming bunch. Be respectful when you are out there. The bottom is rocky and full of urchins, so booties are definitely recommended. At low tide the rock walk can get really painful if you just have bare feet. You can camp on the beach for a fee or rent a trailer just up the beach. Be wary of leaving your gear in the open if you choose to camp. Surfboard and wetsuit theft has been a problem in this area for while now.
