Local Knowledge & Surf Guide
Local Knowledge
Sandspit in Santa Barbara is a sheltered beach and breakwater break that works best during the winter months. Offshore winds from the north create optimal conditions, with most surf generated by groundswells coming from the west. The beach break favors right-hand peeling waves and performs best around low tide. When the surf is up, crowds are common. Surfers should be cautious of rips, man-made hazards like buoys, and pollution. The prime time for clean, rideable waves at Sandspit is winter, particularly in January.
