Thanks to a Surfline camera, large parking lot and Highway which runs right along the shore, Rincon is consistently the most crowded spot in Santa Barbara. Watch out for submerged rocks! On bigger swells, a group of old-timers on long gun-like boards sit out back and take turns catching the sets.
A good bet is to sit outside the crowd and catch the sets that inevitably swing wide and leave everyone else scrambling and duck-diving. But on those rare, perfect days a wave starting at the indicator can connect all the way to the inside of the Cove. The River Mouth — The wave here is generally shorter and mushier when compared to the Indicator. However—on a low tide and after a solid rain that causes the river to deposit silt and sand in across the cobblestone bottom—the River Mouth marks the beginning of a long and hallow reeler.
This spot can get VERY crowded, as most surfers paddle in to the lineup from the river mouth channel. The Cove — On average days, the Cove produces knee-to-waist high waves perfect for a classic log. This tends to be the longboard hangout, but that all quickly changes during a big west swell. A mast in the front yard of a house along the beach marks the beginning of the Cove.
The cover will produce your longest and best ride on winter swells. And then you might as well get out of the water and go home, because life is complete.
