Surfin' Ensenada
Does anyone have any sandy surf spot recommendations in the area? The beaches around here seem to be a little rocky looks as if it could take an
amateur surfer's face off were he to wipe out badly. Any sand beaches that are exposed to the open sea? The nearest one I've seen is on the way down
at La Mision.

Huh? Well, it's your choice. Either the face gets torn off on the rocks, or the back gets sandpapered to ribbons. And it's urchins or sting rays,
either way it's gonna require a nice pee on your foot. Try Estero Beach to the south - lot's of sand for your sinuses.
wow...11 posts and he dares ask a surf question....let the games begin...
and yes, I'm in a great mood, thank you 
Whoa there, Cowboy - pull back on those reins!

What can I say, I've been lurking for the better part of a year. I didn't feel worthy of participating on the boards here till I'd put in at least a
year's worth of reading and a few more trips south of the border.
Game on!

Welcome to BajaNomad anyway. When you get to fifty posts, Doug will send you your decoding ring and instructions for the secret handshake. This is
secret stuff and you're the only one who can read this so, don't tell anybody.

At 100 post is when DK will send you all of the secret surf spots throughout Baja even though everyone knows they are public knowledge as they are
printed in books and on the internet for everyone to see.
For now, your restricted to beach breaks.
Haven't had a bad trip yet....

I guess Killers is out, then. (That place is reserved for the professionals and the insane anyway.)
La Fonda's a bit of a haul from Ensenada, but I've always liked the breaks out front there. Watch where you park, or you might be walking home, from
what I hear lately.
Other than that, I don't believe I know the precise location of a single decent rock-free beach break on the entire peninsula.
The Sculpin does, but he ain't talkin.

I've been to a few spots between TJ, Rosarito Beach and La Mision, all rock free. I was just looking for a place nearer to Ensenada for when I visit
down there. While out on a jog to the toll booth and back I noticed a spot across the street from the Cocinita next to El Trailero. There was a gated
lot that lead to a rocky cliff down to a rocky beach and about 15 guys were sitting way out there on their boards. Maybe it's deep enough out there so
that as long as you don't wipe out that bad it won't take your face off? Still I'm leary of rock/reef beaches. I leave it to the pros.
In any case, happy trails Woody.
And Dano, thanks for the heads up on the possible walk/cool down after a nice session.

Years ago you could drive to the beach on a road just north of the Mexican Air base. It lead to a nice sandy beach break.

Look at the bottom of this link. It won't show all the secret spots, but I don't think there is a better overview for that area.
