The Wall surf guide

The Wall, located in Punta Rosarito, is a surf spot known for its consistency. It has earned its nickname due to the powerful waves that break over the west-facing reefs. However, even when the winds are offshore, they can sometimes get too strong, making conditions challenging. It's worth noting that there’s plenty of camping available among the rock wall windbreaks, which can offer some shelter from the elements.

This spot works best with swells coming from the west and northwest, handling sizes starting at around 2ft (0.6m) and going up from there. The waves break over uneven reef, creating predominantly right-handers. For those looking to get the best conditions, northeast winds are preferred. The waves can be surfed at low, mid, and high tides, making it versatile, but it’s generally more suitable for intermediate surfers due to the power of the swell and the nature of the reef break.

While you’re out there, be aware that local surfers tend to frequent the spot, and patience is key during busy times. Finding a good spot on the wave can make a big difference, so keep your eye out for the best sets. Overall, The Wall offers a solid surf experience, especially if you catch it on the right day.
