About

Boneyards, nestled in Santa Barbara, California, offers a rugged beach-break that caters to both right and left-handed surfers. The waves, fueled by northwest to west swells, deliver barrels that start rolling in at 3 to 5 feet and can reach up to 8 feet when the conditions align. The reef bottom, a mix of coral and sharp rocks, demands respect and attentiveness as it lies beneath a coating of sand. For the best ride, aim for low to mid tides, especially as the tide rises, where the waves unveil their true potential.
