Surfing at Punta San José, Baja California

by | Baja California

Baja California Surf Trip past Ensenada

Being in Punta San Jose was the first time I could discover a place with the camera along the whole road trip. Well, there is not so much out there. Most of the area is desert, but still, I could capture many different moods and angles in about 200 pictures. I wished I had a bigger lens to take photos of the surfers in the ocean.

Still, after six days at this location, I felt I got the best out of it. I will provide photographic evidence below. Oh well, and this place is excellent for surfing also. I could catch good pictures and some sound waves, too.

We continued driving down the Baja California peninsula to explore another surfing spot along the Mexican Highway. Punta San José was a great experience, being far out of society and camping at a remote location on the coast.

How to get to Punta San José?

I have prepared a short timelapse clip if you wonder how to get the fastest from Ensenada to Punta San José. This movie will also give you some idea of the road conditions you will encounter down to this remote surf spot.

You should get all further information from “The Surfer’s Guide to Baja,” which is like the Bible for surfers looking for the best remote spots down the Baja peninsula.

About the Author

Hi, my name is Christian Köhlert, and I am a photographer and digital content creator living most of the time in Montreux, Switzerland. Since I came to Baja California, in 2016, the Mexican peninsula has become my second home. Especially, San Pedrito Beach, close to Todos Santos, has been my front yard during the cold winter months in Europe. At this beach, I learned surfing, so I came every year to enjoy the waves. I have many more in my Travel Photography Blog if you like my photos.
