Caves Spot Guide

A cute, quaint and beautiful little beachside community with epic scenery, the only drawback to the Central Coast gem of Avila Beach is that the surf doesn’t get very good very often. The small creek mouth should hypothetically replenish the sandbars, but most of the year, Avila is a waist-high closeout. That being said, it does have its moments when the conditions align. Situated in the heart of San Luis Obispo County, Avila needs a good groundswell to start working, and thanks to surrounding hills, it can stay clean and glassy when other surrounding spots are blowing out. It can be plenty fun, but because it’s somewhat out of the way and inconsistent, Avila is easily overlooked.
