Located in Northern San Luis Obispo, The Pit is a specific part of Morro Bay, right to the North of the rock. The Pit is a beach break that offers up some rippable lefts and some rights, although the lefts are usually better. The waves here are not always easy to surf and break for up to 50 meters over a sand bottom.
