Summer Solstice 2008 News Of Note

Friday, June 20, 2008

On summer solstice we have a rare June heat wave bringing us warm weather and in turn the water has slowly warmed to 62 degrees. Trunkable conditions have existed this week, with rideable waves in town picking up various bits of swell. Many surfers have said goodbye to their favorite surf spots for the summer as they are turned over to surf camps, junior guards, and day care. UCSB has a full on racket going down at Campus Point, pulling in a big rake every day as they lease the beach.
