Rincon

Rincon, perched on the Ventura and Santa Barbara County line, is the "Queen of the Coast," renowned for its world-class point-break waves. These powerful barrels offer both right and left rides, best experienced at mid to high tide during the winter swells from the north and northwest, where they can reach heights of over 12 feet. The sandy bottom interspersed with rocks adds an element of challenge, while the scenic backdrop of coastal beauty lures surfers from all corners of the globe. Yet, beware of the crowds and the gnarly rocks that lie beneath the surface; respect the ocean's might, for it has claimed lives in its fury.
