3Ms is a rocky reef break located in Baja Norte, just a short distance from Ensenada. It’s one of the more well-known surf spots in the area, likely second only to San Miguel. The waves here offer a good mix for surfers looking to enjoy both lefts and rights without needing to paddle too far from the parking area.
The surf at 3Ms is generally fun and consistent, with waves that can range from chest-high to overhead (approximately 1.5 to 2.5 meters). It handles swells from various directions, mainly South, SouthWest, and West, with sizes from about 5 to 8 feet (1.5 to 2.4 meters) being manageable. The wave breaks over a rocky reef, providing good opportunities for both shortboard and longboard surfers. Most of the time, the best conditions happen with NE, ENE, or E winds and can work well at low to mid tide levels.
While it has its core local crew, 3Ms doesn’t typically get overly crowded, making it a somewhat chill spot for surfers. The area can be a bit sharky due to its proximity to a cannery and fish-processing plant, so keep that in mind. Overall, it’s a solid place for intermediate to expert surfers to get some enjoyable sessions in the water.
