St. Annes

In San Luis Obispo, California, Saint Annes beckons with its right-hand reef break, where the waves rise rippably from the northwest and west swells. The sharp coral and rocky bottom demand respect, as they can bite when the tide ebbs low, exposing jagged edges. Best surfed at low to mid tide during the rising and falling tides, the spot comes alive with power at sizes ranging from three to eight feet. Come prepared, for the thrill of the wave is matched only by the beauty of the coastline, a reminder of nature's wildness amidst the human hustle.
