The Morro Bay Harbor Entrance can, at times, be one of the roughest on the West Coast and is indiscriminate towards its victims regardless of experience. Don't become a statistic:

• Always check local marine forecasts and tide tables before operating your vessel.
• Never transit the harbor mouth if large waves are standing up or breaking in the channel.
• Fog may be encountered in the area at any time. Never venture out to sea without knowledge in the use of a compass, charts and radio aids to navigation.
• Check all of your safety equipment. In case of engine failure, it's vital to have suitable anchor gear.
• We strongly recommend carrying a VHF marine radio on board to enable you to call for assistance should an emergency arise.
