History
Santa Catalina was discovered in the 1970s. It remained a secret spot for many years until 1980 when Surfing Magazine came and brought in famous California photographer Steve Bissell to do an article on the legendary secret surf spot.
Then, in 1990, along came Tom Curren and 10 of the world's best surfers to make a series of documentaries and magazine articles. As they say, the rest is history.
Here is a very good article in SURFLINE.
As you say, Catalina is very consistent. More than 80% swell constancy.
It's the perfect place to surf every day and escape the rat race.
While Hawaii has only 3 months of surfing season each winter, Catalina has 10 solid months a year of consistent swell. It is a true Surfers Paradise.
Santa Catalina Island is right in front of our site.
We have a tropical island all to ourselves, quite magical.
Today Catalina is still a quiet little village with many restaurants run by Italians and Europeans who simply fell in love with the place and stayed. They opened small restaurants and bars bringing with them the recipes of their grandmothers, it's all very bohemian and authentic.
It is an incredible place. It has waves the size of Hawaii in warm waters. A true paradise for surfers. Marlins and Roosterfish for the fisherman and big whale sharks and big islands and reefs for the divers.
Catalina Island is right in front of the property... 5 minutes by boat.
The peaceful village of Santa Catalina is rich in its natural splendor. It represents the true beauty of the natural world. Santa Catalina is a small fishing village with a small population where nature remains faithful.
