The plan is to leave the US on Saturday at 6 am to head down to a secret spot about 100 miles past Ensenada. There is a huge swell coming this weekend and rain is expected in San Diego. The weather in Ensenada should be sunny and cool. About 50 at night and mid 70's during the day. We would need to leave around 2pm on Sunday to make it to the border wait before dark. Be advised this is not a beginners trip so be warned. Wave hts can be significantly larger in Baja than in SD. If you plan on driving be advised a 4x4 is highly recommended. Some of the areas are only reachable on dirt roads for several miles. In the event of a small shower it will be difficult to cross in a 2wd. Also your vehicle needs to be in top condition. Even a battery failure could mean days of effort trying to replace.

Crap you will need:

PASSPORT: If you forget your passport you must plan on starting a new life in Mexico.

Wetsuit: Bring a full suit and/or 2 suits if you don't like to put on a cold wet wetsuit.

Booties: Most of the beaches are rocky. Booties are a must unless you have rhino feet.

Surf boards: Bring 2 in case you break one or the conditions may vary greatly from break to break.

Repair Kit: Both surf board and wet suit repair kits are recommended.

Food: Bring enough food for 2 days. Most of the hotels have kitchens where food can be prepared.

Water: enough water to drink and wash out utensils and wetsuits. 3 gallons for 2 days will do.

Sleeping bag/pillow: just in case. You never know.

Money: Bring small bills, less than 20s. Not many people in the area can change a 20. Also bring a lot of cash in case you get yourself in a bind. It is Mexico and money talks.

Chairs: to sit on the beach and yell at people in the water.

First aid kit: Medical facilities are very far away so a good bandaid and some gauze can come in handy.

Hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, towel, etc....
