About

At the edge of Santa Barbara, where the boulders meet the sea, ED's surf spot rises as a regional classic. The right-hand point break offers barrels that dance with the swell, best surfed at high tide on a rising tide with waves that start at a modest 3 feet and can swell to over 8. With the north and northwest swells rolling in, and northeast winds caressing the faces of the waves, surfers find a canvas of power and grace. This is a place where the ocean speaks, and those who listen ride home with stories etched in salt and sun.
