About

fun wave needs at least a 5ft. swell to be fun. Long paddle in large surf. Camp here! While the wave at San Miguel is a lot more fun when it is good,
La Fonda is surfable almost always and the campsite is cleaner and less intimidating than San Miguel, when all the Ensenada locals go there to party on the weekends. Real chill crowd here.
Get a campsite on the cliffs although there are no hot showers, but there is cold open-air showers.
Or check out the hostel about 100 yards south of the arches leading to the campground - easy to find as its painted iridescent blue. Hot showers, ocean view and a billards table for when its flat. Liquor store also in hotel to buy ice and wood or fires.

Atmosphere:
Fairly reliable and consistent wave. Breaks from 1' to 6'+. La Fonda is a nice change from the dirtier beach breaks to the north (Rosarito) as here you can usually expect decent water quality. Also it has a nice stretch of beach any time of year where you can usually find an uncrowded peak.

Additional Info:
Parking in camping area right off mex 1 costs $10 for the day and $16 to camp. Good fish tacos at the taco stand next to the arches. Hotel has a bar on top where you can get cheap shots.
