Local Knowledge & Surf Guide

Local Knowledge

Saint Annes in San Luis Obispo is a sheltered reef break that offers fairly consistent surf, especially during the winter months, with January being the prime time. The spot performs best when west-northwest groundswells align with offshore winds from the northeast. It features both left and right reef breaks and is best surfed around mid tide. While it can draw a crowd when it's on, surfers should watch out for rips, rocks, localism, and the occasional shark.
