Punta San Carlos

Punta San Carlos is a coastal beach break located on the northwest tip of a peninsula in Baja California, Mexico. The spot faces northwest into the Pacific Ocean with a rocky, exposed shoreline. The water body is open ocean with consistent wave action. The terrain shows dramatic elevation changes inland with desert-like conditions, indicating a remote, windswept location. The narrow safe zone between rocky outcrops and reef features requires precise positioning. Wind reliability of 48.2% suggests seasonal variability typical of Pacific coast locations. Average wave height of 1.27m indicates moderate conditions, though the white water patterns suggest variable quality. Best winds come from the northeast, providing side-shore conditions parallel to the beach. The spot suits intermediate to advanced kiters due to hazardous rocky features requiring good boat handling and awareness. Low wind reliability means sessions are inconsistent. Strong tidal influences and currents are evident from water patterns. Access and logistics may be challenging given the remote peninsular location.
