Miles of beachbreak, wide open to wind and swell. Breaks further out the bigger it gets; the inside reforms are surfed when the outer bars are closing out. Can be rather mushy due the gradually sloping bottom contours. Best during the summer or on small, clean winter swells. High tides work best. Lots of room; crowds are never a factor.
Wicked currents and undertow. Accessed through one of the several parking lots in Pismo State Beach.

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.
