Santa Barbara Area Surf Report

November Overview | 1996 Overview


Date/Time:
Friday, November 15th, 9:00 am - 10:30 am
Location:
Rincon Point
Weather:
Hazy skies, brisk cool morning, building onshores pushing down-channel.
Conditions:
Good, clean water surface, windswelly and mushy shape.
Swell:
NW windswell predominating, inconsistent sets around chest high.
Comments:
Light crowd, shifty peaks, frequently weak shoulders, waves demanding quick and aggressive maneuvers rather than the usual conservative down-the-line style. Got one or two from the indicator to the rivermouth, at the end paddled through the cove which was crowded and pretty small.

Look to Sunday or Monday for a potential new west swell, and windswell in the afternoons if that doesn't pan out.
