Fly or drive to San Diego, drive south to Imperial Beach. Take the main road to the pier. Then walk along the beach until you reach the last house on the American side right before you cross over into Mexico. (From surfexplorer: If you start walking at the pier you will be walking far mor than 5 min. to get to the Tijuana Sloughs (I have never heard it called Bartocci's River, It is the Tijuana River)turn south on coast blvd. drive south until the road ends. On foot continue south for another football feild plus until you have reached the Tijuana river, you can't miss it. If the sloughs are doing it's thing you will need to cross the river mouth to paddle out on the south side. North side is impossible when the outer shelfs are breaking. Typically when people refer to the sloughs they are talking about the outer shelfs, which only breaks when it is BIG. The breaks closer to the shore are refered to as "Boca Rio".
