The island, boat only
A big-wave right off the north island of Todos Santos, west of Ensenada. Killers is boat only. The canyon makes the swell stand up. Chickens and Urchins are the other sides of the same rock. Most people who come here watch more than they surf.
When.
November to March
Northwest swell in winter. It has to be a real pulse. A small day is just a rock in the fog.

Worth knowing.
- 1. This is a boat from Ensenada or La Bufadora. There is no paddle from a public beach.
- 2. Watch a set from the boat before anyone gets off. The scale is the first fact.
- 3. Chickens and Urchins are smaller neighbours on the same island. Still not a learner wave.
- 4. Winter is the only season that matters. Do not confuse this island with Todos Santos town in Baja Sur.
Go.
Before you paddle.
- 1. Check local conditions before entering
