Todos Santos

Best Surf Season (November - February)

When autumn fades into winter, the North Pacific storm track barrels south and Todos Santos switches on. The Aleutian Low deepens, firing long-period W and WNW groundswells across the open Pacific, while the subtropical high retreats and allows more frequent offshore/cross-offshore wind windows. Average swells run a consistent 1.5-1.8m (5-6ft) with periods often exceeding 13 seconds, delivering powerful, lined-up, rippable waves for the west-facing beach breaks. December and January are the crown jewels, with ideal wind frequency reaching 30-32 percent. Water temperatures hover in the mid-teens (14-16°C), so a solid 4/3 wetsuit is essential, but the payoff is winter gold.
