Morro Beach surf guide

Morro Beach is a surf spot located along the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH). It's known for its rocky formation and a small headland that helps shape the waves. This beach attracts surfers looking for a summer session, and it can get crowded at times. While it's not the most famous spot around, it’s worth a visit if you're in the area and looking to catch some waves.

The waves at Morro Beach break left and are mainly for intermediate surfers. The optimal swell direction is from the south, with the beach also handling swells from the southwest. The best conditions usually show up with a swell size of around 2 feet (0.61 meters) and can ride well during low to medium tides. Expect the waves to be a bit faster and rocky, giving a solid rush, but they’re not very long. If the wind is blowing from the north, you’ll find it creates better wave quality.

On a good summer day, Morro Beach can be a fun spot to ride, but it's essential to keep an eye on the tide and swell conditions. The area tends to get more lifeguard presence during the busy months, making it a bit more lively. Just remember, this spot is best suited for those with some surfing experience, so be prepared to navigate the rocky terrain and fast waves.
