Boating at San Luis Reservoir

Doesnt make much sense does it?

Try Lake San Antonio to the west of there or Modesto Reservoir to the northeast

The upper main lake, San Luis Dam is tough on boats, Very windy at times. Great Stripped Bass fishing there. http://www.danblanton.com/SanLuisstripers.html
The lower lake, the Los Banos O'Neill Forebay is better. Although the wind does come up later in the afternoon. Good sandy beach areas with shade and BBQ's and clean restrooms right next to the beach. Wind surfing is allowed on the Forebay. Great wind. Surf next to highway 152. Used a Hobie Cat on the Forebay also. Grew up in Los Banos and parent and family live there. Had the Flat on the Forebay, and yes it gets windy. Got a Blue lite escort off the lake from the rangers with the flattie.
