Punta San Gregorio (San Gregorio Coast)

Punta San Gregorio is a remote, exposed surf spot on the Pacific side of Baja Sur, known for being hard to predict—sessions often work only occasionally. The beach/point setup can offer both left and right-hand waves, with rippable, peeling walls when swell timing and local sand conditions line up. Guides also emphasize morning quality, since offshore-to-onshore changes and afternoon winds can quickly ruin the surf. The most favorable wind reports point to offshore northeast winds, and surf guides also note that conditions are strongly tied to sand: currents and shifting bottom conditions can make what you get at the water change frequently. For swell, reports stress large, long-period Northwest swell as the key ingredient for the longer, more powerful rides and better lining-up of the break. Hazards are a major part of the risk profile. The area has rocks and sea urchins (especially near the point/rocky sections), and during larger swells rip currents are possible. With no lifeguards or rescue services reported, surfers need to be prepared to self-manage and avoid being forced into long swims or delayed exits. Because it’s so isolated, access planning is essential. You’ll typically need 4x4 and should arrive fully stocked with water, fuel, and food; emergency/medical help is several hours away. Overall, it’s best suited to intermediate surfers who can handle variable, changing conditions while maintaining strong self-sufficiency and early-session discipline.
