About

A-Frames, located in San Luis Obispo, California, offers a regional classic surf break renowned for its powerful barrels and shifting peaks that peel both left and right. The waves come alive at low tide during the falling tide, best served by a northwest or west swell that begins to break at over 12 feet and can hold up to 16 feet or more. Surfers should be wary of the sharp coral and rocky reef below, which adds an element of challenge to the otherwise thrilling ride. This spot invites those with a keen sense for the ocean, promising both exhilaration and the test of skill amid a scenic coastal backdrop.
