3Ms surfspot characteristics

More about 3Ms surfspot

General: A rocky reef break in Baja Norte, 3Ms is a staple of Ensenada surfing and likely the best-known wave in the city (aside from San Miguel). Rippable but relatively soft lefts and rights break a short paddle from the parking area, with proximity to the cannery and fish-processing plant making things a bit sharky. Fun, consistent wave with an established local crew. Tides: All tides. Size: Chest-high to overhead. Wind: NE, ENE, E Swell: SW, W, WNW Bottom: Rocky reef. Paddling: Pretty mellow lineup. Spot Rating: Fun, consistent reef break.

User-friendly, but rocky enough to deter beginners.

Park in front of the wave and paddle out.

W and WNW swells are most consistent in autumn and winter.

Crowd Factor: A core crew of local surfers has sprung up in Ensenada, but it doesn't get crazy crowded. Local Vibe: Local crew is on it.

Nearby cannery and fish-processing plant make things a bit dirty.

Sharks, rocks, rips, pollution.
