About
Santa Clause, nestled in the heart of Santa Barbara, is a beach break where the waves roll in from the northwest, southwest, and south. Known for its inconsistent but charmingly sloppy waves, it offers both right and left rides over a sandy bottom, perfect for those seeking a laid-back session. Best surfed at mid to high tide, the conditions are ideal when the swell reaches between three feet and six feet, especially during the summer months. The spot can get crowded, but the camaraderie is warm, and the spirit of the ocean welcomes all who seek its embrace.
