Without a doubt this is the most absolutely warmest water we've ever surfed Santa Barbara in. Trunks and rash gaurds after sunset with some wind and one can still put in a full session. Yesterday, July 28th in Carpinteria the water felt like Mexico. The Stearns Wharf guage is swaying between 67 and 71 degrees, depending on the tide (and the probe's depth).
US Open of Surfing
Bobby Martinez won his Round 5 heat this morning to move on to Round 6 down in HB. Round 6 is down to only 12 surfers in 3 man heats, yet is not considered the quarterfinals because two surfers from each advance. He surfs against Mason Ho (son of Michel Ho) and Roy Powers, both of Hawaii. The only other big names left are Rob Machado, Tim Curran, and Luke Munro.
Bobby Martinez:
Round 5, Heat 1: Placed 1st to advance to Round 6
Round 6, Heat 1: ~8:00 Sunday
