Santa Barbara Area Surf Report

December Overview | 1996 Overview


Date/Time:
Tuesday, December 10th, 2:00 pm
Location:
Devereux Point
Weather:
Moderate to heavy rain, light variable breezes.
Conditions:
Suprisingly... fair conditions. Not too bumpy.
Swell:
What look to be waist high peaks off the point.
Comments:
Not a typical stormy day, the waves almost look rideable. There is a bit of a warble and slumpish look to the peaks as they crumble over, but it's not total victory-at-sea. Nobody out. A lot more rain from this system is coming through than forecast, and the storm drains are carrying a lot of oil out into the water... the sheen is visible on the gutterline as the water sluices into the drain and then out to sea.

How am I doing w.r.t. not naming the more sensitive spots along our coastline? Give me some feedback.

It's hard to motivate today. In only five days I'll be in Hawaii, surfing in trunks.
