Scorpion Bay surf guide

Surf: Well documented super-point that needs S to W swell to infiltrate the deep bay at San Juanico and peel along any of up to 7 righthand points. Can link up the various numbered points if the swell is big enough to produce rides of up to 2km! More afternoon onshore wind protection at points 1-3 inside the bay while further out towards Punta Pequena sees more size. Access: Pay to park and camp on bluffs above waves Directions: 14 hours drive from US border - 4 x 4 advisable Environment: Down sides include shallow when small, urchins, crowds, grumpy expats, long flat spells, expensive camping, no services, 14 hour gruelling road trip from USA, dust and of course scorpions.
