Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Scorpion Bay?
Scorpion Bay is the surfers' name for the bay at San Juanico, a small fishing village on the Pacific coast of Baja California Sur, Mexico, roughly halfway down the peninsula in the municipality of Comondú. It is remote: most visitors drive in, and there are only a handful of places to stay in the village.
What kind of wave is Scorpion Bay?
A series of right-hand points — numbered from First Point outward — that wrap into the bay. On a big south swell the sections can link up into some of the longest rides in Mexico; on smaller days the inside points are mellow enough for longboards.
When is the best time to surf Scorpion Bay?
Summer and early autumn, roughly April to October, when south and south-west swells reach the Pacific coast of Baja. Winter is usually small at the points.
