Gators Access |
| |
Enter Baja thru the SanDiego border. I dont know the exact kl maybe k62 but its just North of the popular golf course BajaMar. You'll find a harbour there. Get in your boat and head south 5 minutes. Look at the landscape closely upon entering and you will notice the silhouhete looks like the nose of an alligator. At the tip of the nose is this amazing wave. For the most surfable part without risking injury, surf the inside boil. |

Additional Surfing Infos |
| | This wave is primarely a tow wave. You can paddle it but I seriosly recommend if you do, have a safety team such as a waveruner ready to save your but before you hit the cliff. Do not surf the first wave,trust me.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
This area of Baja is loaded with surf. Its no secret that spots around Gators have been surfed since the fifties. Althogh, Gators is an exception because there have been no roads to it and you can not see it from any viewpoint. I will admit there is a dirt road to the point but to access the wave from there you must repell from climbing ropes and be prepared to climb up. Boat access is a must. Thanks to a new harbour we spotted this wave. To the normal person it looks unridable beacause of the cliffs but to most of us its perfect. |

General |
I feel uneasy about exposing a secret wave, but maybe most of you felt the same way as I do when you posted these uncomfotable answers to something special. I hope the surfers who read this respect where Im coming from. Aloha Je. |
