Dawn Patrol vs Afternoon Sessions

Dawn Patrol

  • Smaller crowds, especially on weekdays
  • Water is coolest in the early morning — bring a thicker wetsuit
  • Best for beach breaks and exposed reef setups in La Misión

Afternoon Sessions

  • Onshore winds can create chop, but swell is often more consistent
  • Higher crowds on popular beaches, especially weekends
  • Water temperature is warmer by afternoon
  • Sunset sessions can be magic when winds die down
