Santa Barbara Area Surf Reports

Comments: Quick lunchtime session at the pier. Paddled out on the south side but the current was heading north, the first time this spring for me. South side wasn't doing it for me so I paddled in front of the pier and tried to surf the northside. The south swell was working so well that waves were making it thru the pier. The current was maddening, I had to paddle at 50%, both in and towards the pier continously to stay in place. The best takeoff spot was not outside where the sets closed out, but inside near the 2nd Diamond in the pier which created a little sandbar that allowed rights that came in right to the pilings.
