Surfing Rauls, Baja
Rauls is a fun reef break that breaks both right and lefts. Rauls is never crowded; if you get to K-38 and there are 50 guys out, keep on driving South. Rauls is located just after the “Rauls Restaurant”. You can camp at Rauls on top of the bluff that overlooks the break. Rauls is a great place to surf if you want to get away from the Southern California crowds.
