Dawn patrol surfing in Santa Rosalillita

Miller's Landing is a cobblestone right-hand point at El Tomatal fish camp on the central Pacific coast. It produces long walls when a west swell arrives, and there is a reef nearby with lefts and rights.

Puerto San Andrés is a hollow right-hand point just north of Santa Rosalillita. When a solid west swell lines up with offshore wind it is one of the better waves on this stretch, and it works through the tide.

Punta Blanca is one of the Seven Sisters, the chain of right-hand points north of Santa Rosalillita on the central Pacific coast. It is a reef point for experienced surfers, reached by rough 4x4 tracks. Rips and sharks are part of the picture here.

Punta Cono is one of the Seven Sisters points north of Santa Rosalillita. It is a winter northwest swell spot and can get crowded quickly when it switches on, even out here.

Punta María is a long, wrapping right-hand point on the central Pacific coast, near Santa Rosalillita. It needs a proper west swell to wrap around, so it sits quiet during small spells and comes alive in winter.

Punta Ositos is one of the points on the coast north of Santa Rosalillita. It sees very few surfers and is a remote, self-supported spot.

Punta Rosarito, better known as The Wall, is a set of west-facing reefs near Santa Rosalillita. It is known for being very consistent, and it is a good intermediate option on this remote coast. Campers build rock walls here as windbreaks.
