Surf: General: The last stop on the peninsula's west coast before plowing headlong into the glitz of Cabo San Lucas is the dusty village of Todos Santos. Not to be confused with the little island with the big wave named Killers up north, Southern Baja's Todos Santos holds in its quaint jurisdiction three incredibly fun waves to choose from: Los Cerritos, La Pastora and San Pedrito.

It's important to note that up this way -- about 45 minutes north of Cabo on the west coast -- the water can sometimes be five to eight degrees (Fahrenheit) colder, the winds stronger, and the days foggier. While all of these adverse conditions can make things slightly less comfortable than the sunnier, glassier points south, they also mean that the surf will always be bigger -- oftentimes a whole lot bigger. This also means that you're unlikely to score empty waves in the area's most prime spots, especially San Pedrito.

San Pedrito's main attraction is its righthander, which can become highly rippable and point-like between October and March, when NW swells are most prevalent. However, in the summer months, San Pedrito becomes a little peakier, making for a more breathable, stretched-out lineup. Most of the year, the water temperature is warm enough for boardshorts, though January through June can see some chilly temps due to upwelling. Tides: Mid.
