Sandspit

Nestled in Santa Barbara, Sandspit offers world-class, hollow right-hand waves, sculpted by the shifting sands of the harbor’s jetty. With a sandy bottom and a powerful barrel, it thrives on northwesterly swells, best at low and mid-tide when conditions align, holding up to 16 feet when the ocean decides to roar. Crowds will gather when it's firing, but the fickle nature of this spot means it rarely breaks, making its perfect days all the more coveted. Watch for lurking rocks and backwash, as even the seasoned may find their mettle tested in this beautiful yet treacherous playground.
