JZ...you must remember that not ALL people can pass the Sentri background check. Some people have criminal records or unpaid parking tickets! Ha ha.

Does anybody have a good guess at what the northbound wait will be at the Tecate crossing this Sunday morning?

The link below says the crossing opens at 8 AM on weekends. I can get there earlier.

Cross at 10am on Monday.

First rule of MX border crossing: Never cross North on a Sunday unless Monday is a holiday.

I will guess, but if it is a good guess, beats me? Ninety minutes.

If you are in Rosarito why not cross at San Ysidro? Save driving time and as border is still closed to Mexican visa holders and there is less work traffic on Sunday mornings my other guess is you would be better off crossing at San Ysidro.

Either way good luck.

Thanks for the reply.

I've decided to cross at San Ysidro at zero dark thirty Sunday morning. I need to be in Calexico early Monday morning. I'll do some shopping in San Diego Sunday morning and then head to Calexico.

Have a good time today in the good old USA SF&H.

I was down dropping someone at the aeropuerto in TJ today and thought of this thread. Let us know what your crossing time came in at so we can add it to our professional (and never opinionated) database here at Baja Nomad! Haha.

I got in the San Ysidro Ready Lanes at 5:30 this (Sunday) morning.

30 minutes later I was on Interstate 5.

I don't cross very often and I always stress out about it. Today was a pleasant surprise.
