The locals of Santa Catalina are very friendly and fair the only what you have to do is "respect". Santa Catalina is surfable with the low tide bud is under your risk, because the sharp volcanic rock of la Punta, can be very shallow. The best moment to surf in Santa Catalina is in the middle tide, which get hollow and not shallow depending the swell and the wind.
