Cortez Bank, located in San Diego, is a fantastic destination for surfers, providing a thrilling experience with its consistent waves, especially when they roll in from the west. What's particularly appealing about this spot is that it's often not as crowded as some other surf breaks, allowing you to enjoy the waves and the ocean to the fullest. However, while you're out there riding the waves and soaking in the natural beauty, it's essential to stay mindful of potential challenges. Hidden beneath the water's surface, there are rocks that can make navigation a bit tricky, even for experienced surfers. Additionally, as you savor the excitement of this surfing haven, it's wise to keep an eye out for the presence of sharks, as they inhabit the surrounding marine environment.
