Boca Rio
Edit SpotAbout
Best break in souther cali. breaks heavy and hollow.
Additional Info:
Before the condos were built, it was called the "Lots". It's the beach break extending for approximately 1/2 of a mile south from the end of the condos to just north of the Tijuana River mouth. The Sloughs is a reef break
starting at about 1/4 mile outside of that area and, depending on size, breaking out as far as a mile. When the Sloughs goes off, the "Bocs" is
closed out shorebreak.
The Sloughs and Boc's are 2 different spots. Boc's is pretty much all the beachbreak running from the end of the road southward to the Tijuana rivermouth, which is Sloughs.
Inside Sloughs is gnarly beachbreak, until it starts getting bigger...then it breaks on a series of reefs. The bigger it gets, the further out the sets are. Not for the fainthearted.
