Leffingwell Landing

📍 Local Knowledge

Leffingwell Landing in San Luis Obispo County is an exposed reef break with reliable, though sometimes inconsistent, surf—best conditions typically occur in winter and early spring. Offshore winds from the east help groom clean right‑hand waves over the rocky ledge, offering long rides when northwest swell hits. The spot works across most tide stages and remains uncrowded thanks to its remote access. Surfers should watch out for sharp rocks, strong currents, and occasional shark sightings. The most consistent clean waves come during winter, especially January, with the best months to surf being January, February, and March.
