Coastal Passage Notes
Wreck Beach can provide shelter during NW gales while transiting the coast. 6.6nm SE Point Sur, 0.42nm E of Pfeiffer Rock, 42nm NNE Point Piedras Blancas. The the area of 
36°13.97′N, 121°48.12′W there are sandy patches devoid of kelp in which a vessel can anchor in 10-20m. Fishing vessels frequently use this anchorage. Unusable in W or S weather.
San Simeon provides good anchorage during the prevailing NW weather or in settled conditions. 5nm ESE Point Piedras Blancas. 24nm NNE Morro Bay. 76nm SSE Monterey at 35°38.43′N, 121°11.44′W. A small S facing bight protected by a point and a reef. The reef extends S to the buoy which should be sighted before attempting entry from either N or S. Anchor off the beach W of the pier in 5-10m. San Simeon may be safer to enter in NW gales than crossing the bar at nearby Morro Bay. There are reportedly some restaurants and groceries ashore. Hearst Castle, a popular tourist attraction, is here.
Cojo Anchorage provides good anchorage and shelter during the NW gales that can prevent a transit of nearby Point Conception. 1nm NE of Point Conception, 30nm W of Santa Barbara, 34nm NW of Santa Cruz Island, and 65nm SSE of Morro Bay. Anchorage may be taken directly off the prominent culvert under the railroad track that runs just behind the beach in the vicinity of 34°26.97′N, 120°26.58′W. Often moored nearby is Mr. Clean, an oil spill cleanup vessel. The land ashore in this area is either private or part of the Vandenburg Air Force Base. There is no highway access here. There is often exceptional surfing in the area running several miles E of here.
