Good, powerful beachbreak when big; fast and fun when small. Long, mushy lefts off the Rock. This consistent and reliable, W-facing swell-catcher attracts a crowd, however there's lots of room northward to spread out. Can be good on any tide. The entrance to Morro Bay can produce some waves in larger swells and the South Jetty beachbreaks are popular during smaller swells.
Morro Bay has undergone a significant beach nourishment program to counter a lack of natural sand replenishment. Jetskis (PWC) are considered a problem to the marine environment in this area.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
