Boca Del Salado

Boca Del Salado is a fairly exposed beach-and-reef surfing spot on the Baja Sur East Cape, with miles of beach break and scattered reef breaks. The bottom is mixed with reef outcrops, so conditions can vary across the lineup, and rides are often described as most enjoyable when the right swell and offshore wind align. For wave direction, south swells are repeatedly highlighted as the key driver of better conditions. When offshore northwest winds are present, the surf tends to be better groomed. While the overall wave power is generally described as moderate, the spot can deliver fun, peeling right-hand reef waves under the right summer setup. Safety is a major theme here: sources consistently warn about submerged rocks and sea urchins. Pollution risk is also mentioned, particularly after heavy rains, and strong currents can occur in/near the reef and river-mouth areas. Because the area is remote, visitors should expect limited immediate services and plan to be fully self-sufficient. Seasonally, summer is the standout period for surf, with November to March often associated with windier conditions regionally. Sea temperatures are warm through the year, and wetsuit needs are typically light compared with colder coasts—though boots are recommended for reef access given the hazards.
