California Trailer Park

California Trailer Park is a rocky reef break that produces both left and right-hand waves depending on swell direction, breaking most consistently on west-northwest to north-northwest swells paired with northeast offshore winds. Medium to high tides provide the best shape over the shallow reef, and the break suits experienced intermediates to advanced surfers who can navigate the exposed rocks efficiently. Booties are advisable. The spot presents hazards typical of exposed reef breaks—sharp rocks, strong currents, and a crowded lineup during good conditions—alongside local concerns including water quality issues and occasional shark presence.

California Trailer Park sits along the Tijuana-Ensenada Highway in El Sauzal, about five kilometers north of central Ensenada. The break is located directly in front of the California Trailer Park & Hotel property at kilometer marker 103-700, making it easy to identify by the beachfront hotel building. A nearby Pemex gas station with distinctive marine murals on its exterior serves as a visual landmark. The spot is readily accessible via car or public transportation, and the hotel offers lodging options including beachfront rooms and RV spaces for surfers planning a stay.
