Winter Solstice Swell

Thursday, December 22, 2005

It may take a short while to properly represent how the Winter Solstice Swell hit the shores of Santa Barbara County, but we'll start with a few links and hope to add updates.

Don spliced together some footage he took of the greater Campus Point Area.
The photo up above is by Pope of some big faces at in Montecito. The picture to the right is by pope of Deveraux at 4:00. That is about how many people successfully paddled out, as most were swept hundreds of yards down shore before calling it quits. Any media outlet you turn to, including national coverage like NPR has covered the swell, and closer to home The LA Times and the VC Star have stories up.
