Todos Santos (Killers)
Todos Santos (Killers) is Mexico's answer to Jaws—a powerful right-hand point break on an island 8 miles off Ensenada that's been designated a World Surfing Reserve. An underwater canyon focuses swells to produce 40-60 foot waves that wall up and barrel. The wave is nicknamed "Killers" for good reason. Access requires a boat ride through often-rough conditions. When massive NW Pacific swells march down the coast in winter, Todos Santos delivers some of the best big wave surfing south of Mavericks.
