Level: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert

Type: Ocean

Water type: Chop, Small wave, Medium wave

Water hazards: Rocks

Water quality: Clean

Infos: The rolling wind swell culminates in chest-high small period waves that break over the reefs and beach. If there are high waves but marginal wind you might have a hard time getting off the beach. You need to be powered to get past the breaking waves. Lots of rocks in front of the hotel.

Beach type & size: Sand - Medium

Infos: There is a rocky point with a hotel on it. To the north and south of that point are miles of sandy NE facing beach. After big storms there can be a large amount of driftwood that piles up on the beach that can be a problem for launching and landing.

Identified hazards: Rocks, Other

Beachgoer: None

Weather specificities: Water 68-75F, air 70-90F.

Wind type: Trade

Wind specificities: The `El Norte` wind is sideonshore. The Hotel point can create a wind shadow to the south for the first few hundred meters of the beach.

Best months: January, February, March, November, December

Access description: by Car - A car is necessary. From Los Barriles, drive south on 1 until around km 104. Look for a Rancho Leonero sign marking a dirt road heading left towards the water. Follow the road for 8 km to the hotel. Park at the hotel and walk to the north or south, or drive south to the end of the housing development and find a way to the beach. Rancho Leonero is about 15 minutes south of Buena Vista and Los Barriles, BCS, Mexico.

Specific rules: None

Extra: The very luxurious houses to the south of the hotel are often for rent. With a big group they could be affordable (but still $30-$50 per person per night). The hotel is rather expensive as well but has a full-board option with decent food. If you want to *really* get away from it all and have a beach to yourself then this is a good place. No restaurants, no markets, no night clubs, nothing without a 15 minute drive to BV and LB. It's a good place for a day-trip from Los Barriles if you want to play in breaking waves or be alone...there's nobody else here. It's also a convenient pick-up location for a long downwinder from Los Barriles.

Nightlife: None.

Accommodations: Rooms, Shower, Toilet, Food, Parking
