About This Break
San Pedrito is one of the standout surf breaks along the Pacific coastline of Baja California Sur, situated near the agricultural community of El Pescadero, just south of Todos Santos. Known for its powerful right-hand waves, rocky bottom, and consistent exposure to Pacific groundswells, San Pedrito attracts experienced surfers seeking a more challenging alternative to nearby Cerritos Beach.
During the winter months, northwest swells create fast, well-defined right-hand walls with steep takeoffs, carving sections, and occasional barrels. The wave breaks over a combination of cobblestones and submerged rock formations, producing excellent shape when swell, wind, and tide conditions align. Summer south swells can create more scattered peaks with both lefts and rights.
The surrounding coastline features dramatic desert scenery, palm groves, beachfront residences, and a growing community of surfers and international property owners. Its proximity to Todos Santos, Cerritos Beach, and Los Cabos makes San Pedrito attractive to surfers seeking both quality waves and a relaxed Baja lifestyle.
International Surf Properties (ISP) offers premier surf properties and real estate opportunities throughout the Todos Santos, El Pescadero, and Cerritos Beach areas, providing buyers and investors access to one of Baja California Sur's most desirable surfing coastlines.
Local Knowledge
San Pedrito is best suited for intermediate to advanced surfers due to its powerful waves, rocky and cobblestone bottom, strong currents, and occasionally challenging entry and exit conditions. Northwest winter swells can produce overhead surf with fast takeoffs and hollow sections. Exposed rocks, sea urchins, and shifting currents require caution, especially at lower tides. Crowds increase significantly during quality swells, making local etiquette important. Morning sessions generally offer cleaner conditions before afternoon winds strengthen.
