Right pointIntermediateMixed
San Juanico, the long right
A long right at San Juanico, halfway down the Baja peninsula. Scorpion Bay is sections around a point, a dirt road, a small town that still feels like a town. You come for the wrap. You stay because the next section is still going.
When.
November to March
Northwest swell in winter. The point holds a lot of it. A small day is still a fun wall.
The lineup.
The PointThe inside
Worth knowing.
- 1. The road is the price. Do not treat this as a day trip from the cape unless you like driving.
- 2. Walk the point and pick a section. The outside is not the only takeoff.
- 3. Winter is the window. Summer is smaller, still a look if you are already in Baja.
- 4. The town is small. Cash, water, and a spare tyre are not optional theatre.
Go.
Before you paddle.
- 1. Check local conditions before entering
- 2. Always surf with a buddy
- 3. Know your limits and skill level
- 4. Watch for rip currents
- 5. Respect local surfers and rules
