About Bajo del Medio

A huge, curved arc of flat reef that is sheltered in most conditions, but wakes when a big swell lights up the North Track. This spot has a fast, hollow right that tends to draw a crowd, plus longer, walling lefts. Used to only be surfed in massive swells but now popular with beginners and a growing longboard crew whenever it breaks. Great views across to Lobos. Also known as Punta Elena / Rocky Point.
