About
Perkos, nestled in the heart of Santa Barbara, is a right-hand reef break that greets surfers with barrels and a sandy-rocky bottom. The waves begin to dance at 3 to 5 feet, but on good days, they can rise to 8 feet or more, powered by northwest swells and caressed by west to southwest winds. It is a spot where the ocean reveals its character, often tempered by the rocky formations that frame the scene. Come prepared; the sea here is as unpredictable as the winds that shape it.
