Todos Santos is packed right now. I would say that numbers are way up.
Restaurants are all busy, rental cars everywhere, lines in the bank and small shops. I counted 49 people in the line up yesterday morning.

BFS-In the lineup at Cerritos?? That's scary. Gonna be down next week and was hoping to get a lot of surf in. Hope it's not too thick. Maybe San P will be a little thinner I hope. Thinking about driving up to Conejo too.

My buddy who sells real estate in Todos is busier than ever. He swears that Obama is really turning things around Stateside and it's translating into more buyers. But that's only his opinion.....

It's highly unlikely section 8 housing and food stamp recipients are driving real estate sales in Todos Santos. Must be another reason.

I don't quite follow your reasoning....what do you mean by Section 8 and Food stamps with regards to the President?

Over 40 million Americans on food stamps with a dramatic increase since Obama took over doesn't speak well for his economic policy's, as reflected in the results of the mid term elections.This reasoning isn't too hard to follow.

No, 49 in the line up at cerritos is an everyday reality right now. My count was at San P.
As always, you can always a few empty ones uf you know where to look.

Nah, I saw in your trip report that you were there with your family. I didn't see any families where I was. Just a pile of guys with perfectly groomed beards, farmer john wetsuits and 2000-dollar longboards feigning, arching (and falling) on the little peelers.

Santa Cruz guys in Baja? They better know they aren't allowed past K38. I love how Surfline posts a video and photo spread on SC locs driving to Baja. Then they do a "Best Bet for Jan 2015: Baja". The following weekend (last) I was told that Northern Baja was completely packed with surfers.

I do have to say that I was in the central region this past year between Christmas and New Years, which I really really hate doing. I drove from Canoas to the Wall on dirt for fun since there weren't any waves. I'll say that 99% of the surfers I saw were at the Wall. Most (99%) were goons it seemed...like it was their first time going past Ensenada and they were really proud of it.

It very well could have been.
'fun time' was the bajanomad auto-censorship for my phrase describing guys sitting a circle and, umm, having 'fun'?.
