1000 kms south of San Diego in the small fishing village of San Juanico lies Scorpion Bay. Fringed by date plantations and fed by the Sierra Giganta rivermouth, this expansive bay is made up of four right-hand points. The third point being the best, the second the most consistent and generally more of a longboard vibe. When it gets big enough, it’s possible for third and second point to connect up and rides can last over one minute.

Season/Swell: As these points face southeast off the bottom of the peninsula, they only ever turn on with a south swell.

How to get there: Takes about 15 hours to drive to from Southern California. Probably best not to drive at night in this part of the world though so schedule two days for it. Otherwise the nearest airport is Loreto and then it’s a 3 ½ hour drive.

Also: Bring a tent to stay at the local campground for an ocean view. It’s back up and riding after running into a few admin issues.
