Santa Barbara Area Surf Report

January Overview | 1996 Overview


Date/Time:
Friday, Jan. 5th, 7:30 am - 10:00 am
Location:
Rincon, CA
Weather:
Cool morning, sky hiding behind thick mottled clouds pierced by sunbeams.
Conditions:
Clean, no wind.
Swell:
Gutless WNW swell, from knee to waist high.
Comments:
Dropped considerably from yesterday. Thick crowd hassling for the little scrappy waves atop the indicator, and more in the rivermouth picking off some better-shaped walls. All the waves I got jammed small and fast down through the rivermouth, great shape inside making up for the mushbars up top.

Got out early to avoid getting frustrated.
