About

Although Baja Malibu is dirty and cold it offers an alternative to the more crowded quality beachbreaks in Southern California and not to mention it is in Mexico. Baja Malibu is an epic & uncrowded surf spot when it's going off and a fun beach break when it's not. Since it's at least 30 minutes before all the classic Baja spots, such as K38, La Fonda, & San Miguel, it's a good indicator of how it will be when you go further south down the toll road. If it's not good, you can always stop in Tecate Jack's and have a good meal & cerveza!!!

Atmosphere:
This spot makes a nice day trip from Sandiego, howwever, the spot is very polluted, the water is often brown and murky and it is colder than the rest of the coast.When a good swell comes in, Baja Malibu can throw spitting barrels in consistent double overhead sets! Otherwise, it's just another fun & uncrowded Baja beachbreak.
There's a KOA campground at the San Antonio exit so you can always pitch a tent at the only Baja campground with HOT water showers, clean restrooms, and even electricity outlets!

Additional Info:
You can park next to the Tecate Jack's Bar as the cobblestone street to the beach is private and gated. There used to be a picture there in the parking lot of some guy surfing a glassy & hollow overhead wave with the caption, "You should have been here yesterday!"
