Surf spot gone
KPBS SAN DIEGO (2005-07-12) San Diego big wave surfers are mourning the destruction of a surfing spot know as Harry's near Ensenada Mexico. KPBS
Reporter Erik Anderson has details.
Construction linked to a Sempra energy Liquefied Natural Gas terminal has apparently destroyed a big wave surfing spot along the Baja California
coast. Wildcoast spokesman Serge DeDina says the energy company is building a jetty in the exact location where the waves break.
Dedina: The waves come out of deep water really close to shore and the waves just jack up. Its sort of like a Baja version of pipeline but it's a
right hander. And for years it was a secret spot. Very few people knew about it.
Dedina says the location of Harry's was kept secret by a handful of big wave surfers. They worried the spot would become over-run if its location was
made public. Dedina says surfers who've been fighting to protect the wave from development are devastated. Erik Anderson KPBS News.

Damn, and to think I never surfed there while living so close. I guess it's too easy not to travel too much for surf having the cliffs in my back
yard. My loss. Is this the area just south of bajamar? I've fished thru there in a small boat and noticed a bunch of good looking breaks from the
backside..... they were grading the hell out of that area when I was down there last time.

Don't know exactly where it is - guess it really was a well kept secret . . .
I know the area you're talking about is the proposed LNG site.

Obviously we were out of the super secret loop. I would guess that would be the area since that is where all the heavy grading has been done...... I
think I read somewhere that is the location of the terminal. I have been wrong often, though.

Any local insights on the LNG project? It certainly must translate into jobs . . .
