Additional Surfing Infos |
| | Go dowm towards wetlands area, go south towards mex., any side street or parking lot will do. Easy access, no showers, 7-11 for food at pier. Spots north of pier are seldom surfed, poor quality. Water is generally full suit, cold.
Pay attention to the water quality, pollution is real here. Very Real.

General |
South swells during june, july or north during december, january best bets. Blows out at 10-11am daily, glasses off 4pm-evening. Crummy sand pebble beach, but fun surf during summer, over 8' go north.Tiajuana sloughs is spooky, breaks about 1/4-1/2 mile offshore near the border, take buddies for T. J. sloughs. Reported to be most poluted beach in USA, sewage from Mexico, don't drink the water. |
