Surfing Calafia, Baja
Calafia is a wave that most surfers check but never surf. Calafia is a right point break that reels on a big south. Calafia needs an extremely big swell to make this point break. Rumor has it that Calafia gets near perfect, I have drove down to Baja many time and I have never seen this place pumping, but I always see 5 to 15 people in the lineup, maybe they know something.
