Todos Santos / Killers surf guide

Todos Santos, commonly known as Killers, is a surf spot located on the northwest corner of Todos Santos island in Northern Baja. Famous for its intense waves, this location draws surfers from all over. It’s not just the waves that get attention; the ride to get there is part of the adventure, as you'd need to take a boat in from the harbor in Ensenada to reach this remote area.

The surf here really starts to fire up when the swell hits 10 to 20 feet (3 to 6 meters), primarily from the northwest and west directions. The wave breaks over a mix of rock and sand, creating a powerful reef and point setup. When it's on, the waves can be shifty and unpredictable, filled with weird boils and bumps that challenge even experienced surfers. It’s a right-hand wave that prefers a low to mid tide and glassy conditions caused by light east winds. This spot is definitely not for beginners; it’s best suited for expert surfers who are comfortable paddling out in strong currents and handling serious waves.

The surf season generally runs from November to March, but be prepared for some early mornings, as the conditions can blow out by midday. The crowd factor can get intense with a dedicated group of locals and regulars who know the spot well, so showing respect and keeping a friendly vibe is key. Overall, if you're up for the challenge, Killers offers a unique experience but requires skill and preparation to tackle its fierce waves and rocky bottom.
