TRIVIA: What are the Seven Sisters?

edm1 - 7-31-2007 at 05:47 PM

I'm guessing they would be 7 Puntas along Baja's Pacific side, each with a feminine subject. So, that would exclude Punta San Carlos. But may include Punta Rosallilita.

Does anyone care to clarify? All I want are the names, no road logs, mileages, nor GPS waypoins.

Thanks.

They are actually seven business women and I'm a client of all seven. They work out of the Adelitas business park in the northern part of downtown TJ. :tumble:

Seven Sisters? Don't even go there, prostitution is legal in Nevada.

Could it be the Seven Sisters Ranch on some remote desert highway there? :rolleyes:

Seven Sisters would be a BAD idea.

MrBillM - 8-1-2007 at 09:44 AM

The IDEAL gal to have would be an orphan.

NO Inlaws.

Sleepy, Dopey, Grumpy, Happy, Bashful.....

oh, sorry. I misread your question.

backninedan - 8-1-2007 at 10:28 AM

If recent Hollywood arrests are any indication,, they would be

b-tchy, Skanky, Tipsy, Dopey (seems to be uni-sex), etc etc.

jimgrms - 8-1-2007 at 04:54 PM

See rule #37 of the surfers bible and handdbook

vandenberg - 8-1-2007 at 06:07 PM

And now, after all this humor, maybe someone come up with an answer. :?:

Searching

MrBillM - 8-1-2007 at 06:22 PM

It took about 10 seconds to find this on mexbound.com:

The famous "
Seven Sisters
," area of Baja has probably some of the best surf you will find anywhere. The famous "Seven Sisters," which is a series of right point breaks that stretch from Punta Cono all the way to Punta Rosarito, "The Wall." The winter winds create an upwelling in the water, making these perfect points freezing, the water temperature is sometimes as much as 10 degrees colder than San Diego. At famous "Seven Sisters," It is not rare to see guys in 4mm suits, with booties; you may even see guys in hoods.

* Punta Cono. Right point break that breaks best on Winter West swells.
* Punta Maria. Right rock reef point. Needs a strong West or Northwest.
* Punta Lobos. Really good right point reef break. Needs a West or Northwest swell.
* Punta Negra. Good right point reef break. Needs a West or Northwest swell.
* Punta Rocosa. Right rock reef point. Needs a strong West or Northwest.
* Punta Santa Rosalillita. Perfect right point break. Best on a big West. To get completely away from the crowds head to Bahi Santa Rosalillita, which begins after the point. Here you will find a bunch of reefs with no one in site.
* Punta Rosarito. The Wall is located 18 miles south of Punta Santa Rosalillita. It is a consistent right point break that takes most swells, but it breaks best on a West and Northwest. The Wall is Legendary for its power and size.

Location: The famous "Seven Sisters," 400 miles down Mexico Highway 1. To get to these breaks it is best to go to Punta Santa Rosalillita and head either North or South. The roads to the beach are decent, but some breaks require 4-wheel drives to get to. Most of these breaks offer camping on the beach.

edm1 - 8-1-2007 at 06:26 PM

MrBILL, a big thank you!!! BUT . . .

. . . aren't Cono, Lobo, Rosarito all MASCULINE and they couldn't be SISTERS?

David, call it "4 SISTERS and 3 BROTHERS"!

ZONA NORTE. I know all the little "piglets" there.

DENNIS - 8-1-2007 at 06:34 PM

No piglets at Adelitas. Not one.

In the sky. Often mistaken for the little dipper

So, Mexbound.com has had ONLINE detailed, where to go for surf locations and that's okay, but I write about a 200 mile dirt road trip in Baja, with NO mention of surfing or surf conditions... and that's bad because ??? LOL!

Thanks MrBillM... the hypocracy is thick here.

oldhippie - 8-2-2007 at 07:41 AM

David K,

The irate surfer who objected to your trip report must not have known that the 7 sisters is no longer a secret. It's been written up in surf magazines, which is the only thing surfers read (just kidding).

There are no secret surf spots anymore. You can go on Google earth and inspect the entire coastline looking for points and rivermouths where it's always a good bet there will be rideable waves if there is a swell. In fact I've been doing just that along the mainland's Pacific coast. Eventhough I don't surf anymore I enjoy hanging with surfers in remote surf camps and watching.

The satellite images I've been looking at luckily were taken when there was a swell hitting so I can even see how the waves break around the points and across the sandbars/reefs and where the line-up is. All from my kitchen table in a few minutes.

Before the Internet, the secret spot idea was a big part of the surf culture. To surfers, any amount over 10 at a good break is a crowd and crowds ruin the experience. At best surfing is 90% waiting and 10% ecstasy. When there are crowds the percentages are even worse.

I hope this explains things for the non-surfer nomads.

P.S. Exactly where I'm looking along the mainland's Pacific coast is a secret. :cool:

Ah, I think I get it.

Although Cono, Lobo, Rosarito are "masculine" as long as you ride them (the surf, wave?) you can call them the opposite sex?

woody with a view - 8-4-2007 at 07:46 AM

david

it's not you, it's anyone putting the info out there. before mrbillm put out the list from wherever he got it not many here knew the details. every time it's passed around it get cheaper and cheaper (the places) and easier to get into. now thousands more have ready info/access. i'm just glad our spot isn't listed! it's one of the nieces and cousins of the sisters.........

the seven sisters

Brian Hadcock - 8-4-2007 at 09:12 AM

The Seven Sisters refer to the Seven oil companys that control the world's oil production and sales. Google "The Book Seven Sisters" and get the results.
