Thanks for the pics Mike. I'm headed there first week in June. Any idea what type of wet suit I need to bring?

Mike was right about San Carlos, I was there the same time, Hi Mike, and it was all over the map. Great fun watching the pros and trying to keep up. Here are a few pics.

Wet suit? 4/3 for sure, I've been there in June, water is cold. Every time I've been there its cold.

Punta Abreojos is about halfway down the Baja, the turn off is just north of San Igancio the date palm oasis town or a bit south of Guerrero negro/Vizcaino and the road is paved almost all the way out to the point. Spring is 4/3 wetsuit but fall can be nice and warm. I have trunked it in October with 5.2 wind and head high waves. There are plenty of fotos from PSC with guys wearing shorties or trunks in the fall
SWEET!

What would we expect in mid august? Would want a mix of west coast and east coast with about two weeks maybe a bit more. I know PSC is half a day drive from SD, and it is really more of a spring or fall location? I've only been there once in april.

I am running a Wave & Freestyle Clinic with Solosports Adventure Holidays

http://solosports.net/Wavecamps/Wyatt-flash/wyatt-camp.htm

October 17th – 24th.

San Carlos is the best spot in the world to have your first go at the waves. The offshore winds give you tons of power while you are riding down the wave, unlike Maui or the California coast where once you turn down the line the power drops off. This means that you do not have to rely on (or have any) surfing skills. All you need to know is how to sheet in and fly downwind!!

Not to mention the wave just crumbles at the top so it does not destroy you like a pitching Maui wave. You can be sitting in the water with a logo high wave coming to crush you, but instead it just picks you up and rolls right past you without the rinse cycle.

On the other hand down at the Chili Bowl section the wave, bowls up and offers a strong lip for powerful aerials.

AAAAhhhhh I'm drooling already and I just sailed 4.2 in the Gorge today.

San Carlos is heaven for windsurfers.

So if you have never been to Punta San Carlos or if you want to go again and really push yourself, sign up for my clinic October 17th-24. I promise you will have a blast and take some new tricks home to show the local crew.
