Mediocre right point/reef break that can handle prevailing NW wind. Lots of kelp and tar from natural oil deposits. Two sections that rarely connect. Not a hollow or fast wave, fun and cruisey. Lots of UCSB students surf it...not many other folks. Better waves to be found but this is a good one to walk too when you are feeling lazy. Occasionaly good on lined up and powerful W swells.
there was a plan propossed last week to put 90 min metered parking in at the end of DP. so that means 15 minutes to sands, 60 min surfing, 15 min to your car... great.

I remember this day.. that guy tries to take off on the sands side... BIG mistake in that size. he ended up getting into the line up down in front of the torn down house w/ everyone else. I'd say it was a good 10 ft. but this place is soooo fun and idealistic for anything when it's 4 ft. or better (anyone who has had those great AM sessions knows the deal!) =) =) =)
