Sloughs

Tijuana Sloughs, nestled in the heart of San Diego County, is a regional classic where the waves rise and fall with the pulse of the ocean. This reef-rocky break offers both right and left rides, capable of morphing from a gentle 3-foot swell to towering giants over 16 feet, especially when the northwesterly swells roll in. The sandy bottom hides its secrets well, and those brave enough to paddle out are rewarded with long, powerful rides, though not without the lurking dangers of localism, pollution, and the occasional shark. Respect the locals, tread carefully, and prepare for an unpredictable challenge in waters that have seen both beauty and grit.
