About
Nestled in Santa Barbara, California, at latitude 34.4208305 and longitude -119.6981901, Lefts and Rights is a regional classic that offers surfers a delightful mix of left and right breaks over a reef-rocky bottom. The waves, rippable and powerful, come alive with the NorthWest, West, SouthWest, and South swells, starting at a modest 1.0m-1.5m (3ft-5ft) and holding strong up to 3m+ (10ft+) on the right days. Best surfed during mid rising tides, this spot is known for its flat rock formations, which add a touch of rugged beauty and demand respect from those brave enough to paddle out. With offshore winds blowing from the Northeast, it’s a surfer’s paradise waiting to be enjoyed.
