About
Purisima Point Peak, nestled near Santa Barbara, California, offers world-class surf on a rocky reef that yields both right and left-hand waves. The swell, best from the north and northwest, starts to work at a modest height of 3 feet and can rise to over 10 feet, creating powerful barrels that challenge even seasoned surfers. With sharp rocks and coral beneath, caution is advised, and the spot thrives under rising and falling tides, making it accessible year-round. Be mindful of localism, for the waves here are as fierce as the spirit of those who ride them.
