Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of wave is San Pedrito?
San Pedrito is a beach break in Todos Santos, Mexico, with peaks that run both left and right.
What swell works best at San Pedrito?
San Pedrito picks up swell from the S round to the SW, and it's best when it's coming straight out of the SSW. That's a tight window, so it needs the swell direction to line up. It starts working at around 0.9m and handles up to about 2.4m, with the sweet spot around 1.6 to 2m. Period matters too: aim for 14s or longer, as anything under 12s tends to be weak. These are the numbers our scoring uses, so treat them as a guide rather than a promise.
What wind is offshore at San Pedrito?
A NNE wind is dead offshore at San Pedrito, and anything from the N round to the NE keeps it clean. The morning is typically the best window, roughly 6am to 11am. Light winds from other directions can still be fine; strong offshores can make it hard to get into waves.

San Pedrito isn't especially fussy about tide and generally works through the cycle, so swell and wind matter more here. Big tides can still change how it breaks, so it's worth checking before you paddle out.
