Santa Barbara Area Surf Report

March Overview 1998 Overview

Date/Time: Sunday, March 29th, 7:30 am
Location: Rincon Point
Weather: Calm for now, clearing conditions with cold clear air and passing high clouds.
Conditions: No wind yet, so fairly clean, but mushy and weak.
Swell: Decent buoy readings, 10-13 ft at 13 s on outer buoys.
Surf: Weak looking, better than yesterday, but still only waist to chest high and inconsistent.
Comments: Couldn't motivate to surf this stuff, sloppy with even the longboarders grovelling to stay in it. Kicked around the beach for about a half hour.

As I was leaving, Doug got out and characterized it in one sentence: "Not only is it weak, but it's cold." I went and got some donuts.
