La Bocana

La Bocana is a surf spot located in Baja North, Mexico. This spot features a right wave direction and a coral reef bottom, making it suitable for intermediate surfers. The wave length ranges from 50 to 150 meters, and it is best surfed during medium to high tide. The spot is known for being uncrowded, often empty, providing a solitary surfing experience. Access to La Bocana involves parking your car on a point overlooking the spot and taking a trail with boulders down to the break. The area is characterized by boils, so high tide might be preferable. It’s located past Ensenada, around 181 km, and can be reached by taking the road with the Coyote Cal’s sign, driving through town, turning left at the cannery factory, keeping left, and driving over a riverbed towards olive trees near the coast. Nearby surf spots include Punta Cabras, Punta San Jose, Cuatro Casas, Isla de Todos Santos, and Stack’s. When planning your surf trip, be sure to check the surf forecast, report, and map for the latest conditions. It’s important to check your skills before paddling out to make sure the spot and conditions fit your surfing level. Additionally, always be mindful of the surf etiquette, especially when a spot is crowded. Respect the locals.
