Mushrooms, Baja Norte

Mushrooms is a small cove just north of Calafia that has a hollow and rippable right hander. It is a fairly short wave but really fun when it is on. Mushrooms breaks best on a big south swell but can also get good on a sizable southwest. The takeoff zone is right next to the rocks so it can get sketchy. Mushrooms is for experienced surfers only because of the tricky takeoff zone. In recent months a high-rise condo has begun construction just in front of the cove here. Upon completion, access might be blocked entirely to the public so get out there while you still can!
 
Surfers advice:  Use caution during the winter months, as north swells can push sewage from the treatment plant a few kilometers north of here, giving the water a grayish tint and a not so pleasant smell. .
 
Getting there: To get to Mushrooms, take the toll road past Rosarito and exit onto the free road just before the AM/PM gas station. You will pass Fox Studios Baja on your right and condo towers will be ahead of you along the coast. Mushrooms is right in front of the second tower from the north. Parking can be tricky with all of the construction, so make sure to ask before you park. Pay a local a couple bucks to watch your car if you can
