Surfing Quatro Casas, Baja
Quatro Casas is probably the most well known break in the area. Cuatro Casas is a good Right-hand point reef break. When Quatro Casas is on it gets really good. Quatro Casas can get really crowded, but it always is less crowded than anything before Ensenada. It gets extremely windy in Cuatro Casas, but the kelp and the high cliffs keep it glassy. There is camping right on the cliff overlooking the waves and local fisherman will sell you fresh fish. Theft can be a problem so don’t go by yourself. .
