Las Islitas · point break, beginner, best on S/SW swell with N/NW wind, low to mid tide. Famously long right that wraps from the little rocky islets at the head of Matanchen Bay; needs a large south swell to connect, then gives some of the longest rides in…
El Borrego · beach break, beginner, best on SW/W/S swell with NE/E wind, all tides. San Blas town beach with gentle peaks over sand; the usual learning spot and a backup when the points are flat.
