Santa Barbara will see a mix of heavily shadowed NW swell (290-300) and a weak local W-WNW windswell coming out of the channel.
Waves
Look for surf in the ankle-knee high range for most of the well exposed spots, mostly through South (East) County. Other lesser exposed spots will be flat or close to it. The high tide peak that rolls through around 9:30 will swamp out shape across the whole region.
Overall, since most of our semi-rideable surf is coming through as local windswell, shape is going to be soft and slow, even on the lower tides. Plan on sticking to the big boards.
Winds
Look for light and variable conditions early…but with a touch of onshore flow picking up by midmorning. Generally it will be clean but with a couple of pockets of texture building in at the really wind exposed areas. W-NW winds 10-15 knots build in through the afternoon.
