SWELLRADAR is requesting a verified marine run for Rosarito.
Spot intelligence.
Rosarito is an exposed mixed beach, reef and rivermouth zone rather than one fixed takeoff. Southwest swell and east wind are the clean reference setup; water quality and recent runoff remain hard safety gates regardless of the surf score.

Character
01Rosarito is defined by left + right beach peaks with reef and rivermouth sections over sand, reef and rivermouth sections. The shape can change with swell angle, period and the active section, so the live score should always be paired with a visual check from shore.
Best setup
02S–SW swell, e offshore and moving mid tide · bank dependent form the profile baseline. SWELLRADAR treats 0.6–2.6 m as a working range, not a guarantee of breaking-wave size.

03Choose a peak that matches your experience and reassess it as tide and crowd change. Pay particular attention to polluted-water events, rip currents, reef and rock sections. Local signs and advice always take priority.
