NEW FOR 2025

We're heading back to Gavi's amigas y amigos. The new Baja Weekender house is super nice and comfortable with an incredible view. The home is close to the beach path which means we'll be steps from the white sandy beach and the epic right-point break.

We'll be heading south early on Friday which means more surf time and amazing food. Plus, we'll have four weekends with an extra night; two in June and two in July :) Keep reading for more details.

In 2025, the Baja Weekender dates in June and July are three nights. Please click on those dates in the availability table below for all the info. Here’s a sample of your two-night epic itinerary:

Friday 
Your two-night Baja Weekender trip begins when the group meets in Imperial Beach at 7:47am on Friday. First... before crossing into Mexico, we stop to get our tourist visa at the immigration office located right at the border. Then, we continue southbound. As we cannot enter the community where your home will be until 11am, we will have a couple of options. If by chance, we can enter the Las Gaviotas community before 11am, we will do so. Captain Manny V will make the call the morning of the trip. If there is no way to enter Las Gaviotas, the couple of options are:

Option 1: Head to Pueblo Magico restaurant for an epic breakfast. After breakfast, we do a quick food run at the local grocery store to load up on the morning essentials (coffee, fruit, snacks). This will put us to arrive at your Baja home around 11 a.m. After we go over some house items, divide up the rooms, and chat about the weekend ahead... we suit up and go surf!

Option 2: If the surf looks awesome, we hit up Secret Spot R before heading to breakfast and the grocery run. Secret Spot R is a right-hand point break that rolls right to our parking spot. Either way, have a wetsuit ready to go.

After a solid surf, we rest up before heading out to Manny V's favorite Birria spot for lunch. Vegetarians will have a few options available to choose from.

An afternoon or sunset session is on tap. It's really up to you if want another surf or chill out to conserve your energy for Saturday's full-on surf marathon.

Colectivo Surf has a pretty well-rounded menu that caters to all. It's a great way to end the Epic first day.

Saturday
First light surf session is the name of the game at this location. This is to ensure you get an empty surf for at least an hour. If possible, bring two wetsuits to ensure you have a dry one for session two. Coffee will be ready before the first person wakes up. Light snacks and bananas will be available for those who like to eat before surfing. Again... this day is all about that first light surf session.

Once everyone has had their fair share of fun, Manny V will have brought breakfast burritos for you to enjoy after your first light session. You'll have a few hours to chill or surf again. Then, we'll head for lunch to one of Manny's favorite lunch spots! If time permits we'll head to K-38 Surf Shop to pick up some surf souvenirs. 

After lunch, we'll check the conditions and get back out there if it's good. Time permitting, each session will end with a slide show of the photos and videos taken of your surf. At sunset, we'll get ready and head out for a delicious lobster dinner at the cool village of Puerto Nuevo. Thrifty Ice Cream is great to end an Epic day in Baja. 

Sunday
This will be our last first light surf session on the trip. Get out there and get as many more Baja perfection as you can. After your session, we'll load up and roll out for home. But not before our last incredible meal.

Once the car is loaded up and the house is clean, we're off to Ruben's. This is where we'll feast at best Sunday Brunch this side of La Fonda. Manny V suggests eating light this morning as the buffet has everything to suit every taste bud. You are definitely in for a treat at Ruben's.

Unfortunately, all Epic things must come to an end. It's time to head back to our meeting point. Manny has a system in place to get you across the border in less than an hour. Of course, things may come up but it's been pretty consistent for crossing under an hour. To make this happen, we have to be rolling north around 11am. Our goal is to be across the border by 1pm-2pm.

My ultimate goal with all my trips is to ensure a safe fun surf adventure. Please, by all means, email or call me back with any questions. I'm for ya. Email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or call 619-788-2456. - Captain Manny V
