About
Oceano, set against the rugged backdrop of San Luis Obispo County, offers a canvas of sandy beach breaks that yield both lefts and rights, welcoming surfers of all calibers. The waves come alive when swells from the northwest and southwest collide, starting at a modest size of 3 feet and building to over 10 feet on good days, especially during mid to falling tide. This exposed sandbar spot is less crowded than nearby Pismo Beach, allowing for the freedom to roam and find your own peak among the shifting sands. Just be mindful of the occasional shark encounter; the thrill of the ride often comes with a brush of the wild.
