San Simeon Creek is a surf spot located near the State Park campground along the coast. It's a pretty chill spot, accessible from the dirt lot along Hwy 1. The break is mainly a beachbreak, and it's known for having a mix of lefts and rights. This place can be a bit hit or miss, so it’s good to check conditions before heading out.

The spot works better with a small, peaky swell, ideally from the southwest but can also pick up swells from the south and northwest. It tends to handle swell sizes starting at around 2 feet (0.6 meters). The waves break over sand, and while the beachbreak can frequently close out, there are times when it can produce some decent rides, especially at mid tide. Offshore winds from the east are preferred, so timing your session can really make a difference.

It's worth noting that to the south end of the spot, there's a reef that sometimes offers shapely lefts, so checking that out can be a good idea if you’re looking for something different. Just keep an eye on the tide and swell to maximize your surf time here.
