Chasing Waves and Stars: My Baja Overland Surf Adventure

When whispers of the Baja Overland Surf Trip reached my ears, I knew it was a journey I couldn’t resist. Join me as I recount my sun-soaked adventure across the Baja desert coasts, where the waves are perfect and the nights are spent under a blanket of stars.

The Call of Baja’s Waves

As a seasoned surfer, I’ve spent countless hours chasing the perfect wave across Central America. But when I heard whispers of the Baja Overland Surf Trip, I knew I had to experience it for myself. The promise of three full days of surfing and overlanding across the Baja desert coasts was too tempting to resist.

Arriving in Cabo San Lucas, I was greeted by the warm sun and the salty breeze that always feels like home. Our guides, local surf experts, were ready to lead us on an adventure to the best surf spots around Baja California Sur. With fully equipped 4x4 vehicles, we were set to reach the most secluded and pristine beaches.

The thrill of driving through the desert, with the promise of waves waiting at the end, was exhilarating. Whether you choose to drive or let the guides take the wheel, the journey itself is an adventure. The landscape of Baja is rugged and beautiful, a perfect backdrop for a surf trip.

Camping Under the Stars

One of the highlights of the trip was camping under the stars on the beaches right in front of the surf spots. There’s something magical about falling asleep to the sound of waves crashing and waking up to the first light of dawn over the ocean.

We had the choice between rooftents or ground tents, and I opted for the rooftent for a bit of elevation and a better view of the night sky. The campsites were well-equipped, with all the cooking gear we needed to whip up delicious meals. And for those who prefer a taste of local cuisine, there were stops along the way at authentic local spots.

Between surf sessions, we even tried our hand at fishing. There’s nothing quite like catching your own fish and turning it into fresh ceviche right on the beach. It’s these little moments that make the Baja Overland Surf Trip an unforgettable experience.

Riding the Perfect Wave

The surf spots we visited were nothing short of spectacular. Each location offered its own unique challenges and rewards, from long, rolling waves to more intense breaks. The local guides were invaluable, sharing their knowledge of the waves and ensuring we had the best possible experience.

As someone who’s spent years analyzing wave conditions and weather data, I appreciated the attention to detail and the passion our guides had for the ocean. They knew exactly when and where to find the perfect breaks, making every session memorable.

The Baja Overland Surf Trip is more than just a surf trip; it’s an adventure that combines the thrill of surfing with the beauty of Baja’s landscapes. For those who live for the ocean and the freedom of the open road, this is a journey not to be missed. Baja Surf Adventure
