Drive down past Puerto Nuevo, past the sand dunes and when you see a turn off road that heads to a gated community go to the guard gate and ask to be let in. You are about 3 miles north of La Fonda so dont go past there. DistanceDay trip WalkGood walk (15-30 mn) Easy to find?Easy to find Public access?Private access Special accessDon't know |

It is a right that may look harmless but is actually a powerful wave. The paddle out isn't to bad but the paddle in sucks due to urchins EVERYWHERE!
Atmosphere
Really mellow spot. Not to crowded at all. There is another reef break next to it and a beach break next to that.
General
Excellent spot for the experienced.

Casa 55 - My Dad & I had a house in the 70's & 80's, (Casa 55), it was next door to Vince's house. Surf was big during winter 81-82. Sure miss the place, if anyone knows of rentals there, pls pass on the info to littleandassociate@sbcglobal.net.

Stay out of K55...... you may get your tires slashed or a busted window - I read through the posts on this site that date back a few years. A lot of people are cofused about localism. Its not about "I own this beach" or "you cant surf here". Its a respect thing. When you paddle out at someones home break or where they have a house and have been surfing for years you need to proceed with respect. In the end its a territory thing just like dogs. If you paddle straight out to the peak, pass by all the guys in the line up without saying a word like you own the place and then try to take the first set wave that comes in while your hairs still dry, you deserve to get vibed. Always scope the place out before you paddle out. IF you have been surfing for a while you should be able to tell who "the guys" are out in the line up. Proceed with respect and be humble when surfing a new spot and you just may make some new friends intead of getting beat down on the beach for being a douche bag. Another thing....... K55 is private property. I know a few people with houses in there. You can hate all you want but people pay money for there houses and privacy there. They dont own the water but they do have rights to the land wether they own or lease. If you think you are going to be slick and talk your way past the gaurd and park on private property so you can take the easy route to the waves then your in the wrong. If you get a broken windshield or flat tire its your own fault. You were trespassing and took a stupid risk. This rule goes for anywhere. Mexico is just a little more primative and instead of getting trespassing ticket and your car towed like would happen in the US..... instead you get fucked with. The hard truth is that this whole cove is a private beach and there is no way to access this beach without passing through private property. So technically The residents own the beach unless you came in on boat. In conclusion, I have been going to K55 for over 15 years and there have always been "local" americans and mexicans there that will maek sure you pay the price if your a douche bag and try to sneak in thier camp and then paddle out like you own the place. your better off going to K38 and save yourself the trouble. If not............ all I have to say is........ I told you so. Remember friends are better then ememies.... try to be cool and make some friends wherever you surf. It makes surfing a lot more enjoyable when you know people in the water instead of stink eyeing everyone. It also gets you access to highly localized spots and private beaches.

- An unbelievable amount of intimidation and threats from the usual lot of below average surfers. Maybe the complaints should be directed to the north where a once desolate bluff is now leveled with half-ass homes and lots, trying to capture the almighty profit that has since failed the land to the far north only to leave the N. Baja coast filled with empty frames and shells littering the once prestine coastline. Just be happy you can surf, and if you havn't been surfing more than 20 years, then shut the F Up, earn your stripes and wait your turn.
