About
Whitey's, nestled in the heart of Santa Barbara, is a point break that rewards the patient and skilled with world-class lefts. The wave, born from the west and southwest swells, unfurls over flat rocks, serving rippable faces that grow from 3 to 10 feet, best at low to mid tide on a falling tide. Ideal for those who heed the north winds, this spot remains a sanctuary of smooth rides and the thrill of the sea. Just watch for the rocks and the occasional shark, and you’ll find yourself immersed in the rhythm of the ocean.
