I don’t think there is an “official” list — who would be the officiator? DK? OC surfers?  
It’s general term for the more or less 7 right point breaks…. And I think of it as a region, not a set of points.
Woke!

Canoas and Blanco aren't considered one of the sisters, seven sisters start at Cono
there's only two things in life but I forget what they are........

If you had actually read the article, it clearly states that neither Canoas or Blanco are actually considered point breaks designated as any of the
Seven Sisters, but were just stops along the way when the couple who shared their trip report were heading down towards the Seven Sisters.
Sorry you didn't like the report. You can join the long list of entitled surfers all sending me hate mail today for posting the article, as if the
Seven Sisters area is somehow different from other remote areas of the peninsula and must not even be discussed.
"I FOUND IT AND NOBODY ELSE MUST KNOW ABOUT IT!!!"
If they ever find out via a simple Google search that some surfers have already posted all the GPS coordinates to the Sisters and the smaller break
points in between, they'll probably have a seizure...

yeah, my bad - reading too fast
no hate here
once more than one person knows about a secret, it is no longer a secret
blame goes to the Jesuits - they made the world aware of the peninsula

If I had looked at the Almanac I should have labeled it Punta el Diablo/El Cardon.
Those listed by me were from the "Surfer's Guide to Baja by Mike Parise". Third Edition 2007.
I'm not a surfer but I consider the start of the 7 sisters route to be at Hwy 1 KM132 out to Punta Canoas/Puerto Canoas and down the coast to Santa
Rosalillita. I usually don't go past Santa Rosalillita but the last of the 7 sisters is the Wall further to the south.
It's kind of like the Baja 1000. Is it 1000 miles or 1000 kilometres. Take your pick. If it is a loop it's 1000 kilometres. If it runs to La Paz or
Cabo it's 1000 miles.

Hi Ron, I agree with you about the silly notion that writing about a place somehow ruins it. We all know that it is good roads that bring in "all
kinds" of people. Bad roads are the best filter! The coast road has been documented in guidebooks for sixty years... That's before the current surf
gangs 'discovered' the area! Baja has room for everyone!

Doubtful anyone accurately counted the points to come up with number 7. 6 sisters and 8 sisters sound stupid. 7 sisters is probably the name some
surfer dudes remembered from Greek mythology or Boy Scout star-finding they were minimally exposed to in HS in Lake forest….
The actual pleiades have 6 visible stars, but if you look w/ binos u will see more than 7,… so 7 sisters is a good name for set of points that you
cannot agree upon quantity….

If you’ve ever surfed a day at any Southern California surf break then you’ve heard of the 7 sisters. It’s more talked about than San Miguel,
it’s the time getting there that keeps it what it is.

Whether you consider that a positive thing is a personal call.
I happen to dislike crowds, and would never discuss my favorite Baja places here.  |
Naturally, it increases awareness... but unless you want to drive the distance, have a 4WD vehicle, and are not afraid, you won't go to much of it.
The Mexican government built an excellent dirt highway from Santa Rosalillita north to Punta Cono. There, is where you need to point fingers as to
what should be blamed for more traffic. The coast north of Cono to Canoas is 4WD territory with Faro San José the only place accessed by a 2WD road
(from near Cataviña) along that stretch.
I drove the coast road in 2007 and again in 2017, no change.

from a nomad 15 year ago.......
Back when Leo Hetzel was starting his "around the world" trip (which ended with him breaking his leg in Hawaii), he went down to baja becuase he heard
about these points that would fire on a large WNW. After much trial and tribulation (this was before Mex 1), he finally got to where he thought these
mystics points were, but it also coincided with an unusually long flat spell. Being a patient man, he holed up in a little rancho around where El
Cardon is now, and he waited, and waited, and waited. While waiting, he noticed that the rancheros from the surrounding area would come by once a week
and have a little rodeo. This rodeo would last all day, and after sundown, a party would rage untill dawn. After a few weeks or so, he figured out the
rodeo's main attraction. Since the rancheros all had to work during the week, he was able to avail himself of the charms of Rosa, Lupita, Carmella,
Xoctil, Angelica, Karina and Catalina. After a few weeks of this, he made the realization that they were all sisters!!! Well, Papa eventually got wind
of what Leo was doing and told Leo to leave or else...
Well, Leo never did get to surf the place, it never broke, but not wanting to disappoint Severson over at Surfer Magazine, he wrote this big article
about how great the place was, and of course he named it the seven sisters!!!!!!
