Surf/Windsurf

We often Surf and Kite Surf when we're en Casa. 

Surfing

Unless you're around in hurricane season, there are no surfable breaks on East Cape. Hurricanes or tropical storm surf can create some waves at Punta Arena around the lighthouse, and further South, but check The Surfers Guide to Baja by Mike Parise to get the place wired. For the most part we either steam into Cabo San Jose and surf Zippers or head over to Todos Santos where there is usually consistent surf. 

Wind Surfing/Kite Surfing

You can Windsurf or Kite directly in front of the house. During the winter the exposure is pretty close to but not directly on-shore so you need to know how to get upwind pretty quickly.  There are some points north and south of the casa where you can find some protection to launch if you need quieter water. The wind can howl  December through March ... +25 knots so be prepared.  In summer, you can get intermittent south winds.  If you need gear, lessons, etc. many windsurfers and kiters congregate in Los Barriles in the winter.
