ROSARITO SURFING TIPS

The water temps near Rosarito Beach and the rest of Northern Baja can be chilly, but in the summer the ocean can get up to 75 degrees. From September- June you should plan on bringing a full wetsuit and some booties to protect your feet against sharp rocks and sea urchins. Surf spots such as La Fonda and Las Gaviotas can be crowded, especially on weekends. It's worth the drive a bit farther south down Baja to point breaks such as Punta San Jose and Punta Cabras if you have time.

The waves in the winter can be huge, as big swells march down the Baja Peninsula from storms in Alaska. The coastline north and south of Rosarito Beach is exposed to every direction so year-round waves can be found within a short distance.The surf spot at Islas Todos Santos is famous throughout the world as a big-wave mecca that attracts chargers from all countries, as the bombs can get as big as 40 feet in the winter.


Many of Baja's point breaks and reef breaks, such as San Miguel, are perfect for intermediate surfers and you can get rides up to 200 yards long. Rosarito Beach is a great base for the perfect Mexican surfari- book your stay at your Rosarito Beach resort today!!
