Additional Surfing Infos |
| | Extremely inconsistent with tiny swell window. Baja Surf forecasts unreliable for this spot due to location inside a bay with several points of land causing wave shadows.
No accomodations. Windy,dusty. Cold showers. Water rationed to campers (this is the desert)Camping is on lava rock bluff top. Not cushy or comfortable.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
Longboards? Overpopulation? What ever the cause, the summer of 2002 has been ridiculously crowded. Camping area above max capacity. Altercations on the rise.
July 02: Flat or too windy=5 days, 0-waist high= 24 days, shoulder high+=2 days.
Always people out at all 3 points. |
| |
General |
Scorpion Bay could still be salvaged if a creative strategy was used to control capacity: (members surf/country club, reservation-only camping, designated campsites with a maximum capacity, or no camping with capacity-controlled day use...)
