Not much in shoreline day use, maybe when the lake is completely full, there are a couple of spots. there are a few places on the north end.
Lime Saddle is our home marina and we are looking forward to seeing you.
Oroville is glass in the mornings, usually can get some wind in the early afternoon, and then it is gorgeous usually from around 4-5pm until you call it for darkness. You can surf all the way to 8:30pm easy.
Weekdays are the best, but weekends are not bad compared to other lakes, Oroville is under used because you have Folsom to the south, Berryessa to the west, Shasta to the north, and Tahoe and the mountains to the east. Also, the locals (other than the fisherman) are kinda late risers. You can get out on a Saturday at 8am and have great water til noon, sometimes later, even in July or August. That is why we live here.
If you have the slip, best is probably to get up early and get some breakfast, surf the glass in the AM and then come in and get some lunch in town and take a nap, come back and hit it again til dark, which is the best time, especially in August. Then we can treat you to a local diner in paradise that we always hit that is open to 11pm or so, and they don't mind if you are wearing wet trunks. ;-) Its not the best food, but its hot, and they have pie.
