It's Easy! Drive the 101 north past Santa Barbara, take PCH afer Gaviota, and enter the gate at Hollister Ranch. Drive up to the beach and go surfing. If you believe that you'll believe anything... Private access by land, way too much BS about this small bit of very expensive real estate. Go by boat.
Just tell the security guard to let you in because you're a surfer. It's a secret code. (SEE ABOVE... check out the swell.com forum for more rantings about access to 'The Ranch')

Auggies: the truth
auggies = soggies. i grew up sponging here then switched to surfing, we learned at auggies. the wave is garbage 9 time out of 10. It will normally break real quick then back off in a deepwater channel leaving u confused. but if u wanna surf auggies good luck, more power to u.

gets heavy
auggies at DOH sets up a heavy bowl and makes for a screaming takeoff. Rewarding if you make it, but the urchin-covered reef will let you know if you blow it.

the pic is actually of Big Drakes.Augies is further up,a couple rt. reefs next to small headland,not a real pt.I'm a rancher.Augies is a good option for boaters,its a decent wave and usually no one on it.
