About
Carpinteria Beach, nestled in the heart of Santa Barbara, offers a welcoming surf for those seeking solace in the waves. The sandy bottom cradles both right and left beach breaks, with rippable power that starts at less than 1 meter and can swell to over 2 meters. Ideal for longboarders and beginners alike, the waves come alive at mid to high tide, dancing with the rising and falling tides. Here, the ocean sings a quiet song, perfect for catching a few small waves and enjoying the rhythm of the sea.
