Santa Barbara Forecast
Chris Borg •Today
Small but longboardable surf today. Cleanest in the AM, PM stays pretty decent. Fun outside of SB.
Dawn to 10:00AM: NW swell mix keeps knee-waist high waves going at the better spots, stomach high for standouts. Mid-morning low tide drains out most spots, better on the other side of it/as it pushes into midday. Quick window for the dawn patrol, but it drains out fast. Light southerly sea breeze.
Afternoon Outlook: SW onshores puff up to light+ back half of the day. Nice size SW swell rolling in for spots outside of SB if you want to travel
