Santa Barbara Area Surf Reports

Comments:

24 hours later at the same spot as yesterday and the conditions had improved dramatically. Instead of slow sluggish waves with 30 minute lulls and sets with juice, we had consistent juice driven down the coast. I was stoked, I walked a little south to a peak that looked to be funelling the swell in a little better as up north was a litle mixed up with a confused rip current. Still gotta figure out these sandbars, I'm not even sure where the nearest creek mouth is. I was a wave catching machine, notching up rights and lefts in the waist to chest high range and occainsonly roping in a head high monger with power for turns and hits on the lip. It was a whole new surfing experience compared to yesterday to get up, angle down the line and figure what you wanted to do. I had an amazing right that went like a top, it was like a point break I went so long. Towards the end of the session I had a screaming rail grabbing left followed by a turn off the lip and a crash into a whitewash strewn impact zone. I popped up and hooted, but there was no one there to hoot to. Also saw a dolphin today, my first dolphin on the central coast this fall. I'm glad he was policing the lineup. One of my alltime surfing sessions this fall.
