Quatro Casas (Camalú)

Quatro Casas (Camalú) is a rugged, exposed right-hand point and reef break in Baja Norte known for pretty consistent surf. The wave peels across a rocky reef shelf and is favored when the swell angle and wind combine well, producing long, rideable lines. Rides are typically reported as long, with commonly cited lengths in the ~50–150 meter range, and other accounts noting that—when swell sections connect—rides can extend much farther. The break is described as a high-quality, peeling right that can hold meaningful size and can become faster and more hollow as swell increases. Wind at the spot is often a key limiter: it can be very windy, and NW winds may blow the wave out. However, despite windy conditions, the surface can still look glassy thanks to kelp and the surrounding cliffs. Best surf conditions are described as clean with light morning winds or East offshore winds, while wind and swell alignment matter. Safety is a major focus here. The entry/exit is very rocky and hazards include sharp rocks, exposed reef sections, and urchins/barnacles; rescue services are not present. Expect limited nearby services, plan supplies carefully, and surf on a mid-tide to reduce how many rocks become exposed at low water.
