Anyone interested in joining me at the "Queen of the Coast" sometime this winter? And if it's during a decent swell there's a dozen other point breaks we could hit.

During the week maybe a friday morning if there's a swell maybe in jan keep me posted that's a great wave, Steve

Keep me posted. My daughter attends UCSB and I'm always up for a trip to visit her.

I graduated UCSB in ('91) (my mom in '73). My family has been in SB County since 1875. Campus Point and Devaraux are two of the 12 points/reefs I mentioned previously. We've got alot of options besides Rincon if need be, but I've never had a problem at Rincon. Especially on a Sunday dawnpatrol. My friend calls it the "Hangover theory". You've got a place like Rincon where you expect there to be a lot of people on a weekend, especially Sunday. But there's a lot of guys out partying on Sat. who can't get up early on Sun., plus all the people that don't show up because they assume a Sunday at Rincon will be crowded.
I've surfed plenty Rincon dawnpatrols on a Sunday with half the crowd of a weekday, just for those reasons.
Granted, it all depends on how surf starved the locals are, but you can get great waves at Rincon even on a weekend.
Please don't let this info out to the gen pop.

OK dawn patrol on sunday's give me a head's up on a new swell and I will drive up for a 2 hr session

Sounds Great! I always travel south to San Diego or N, Baja for winter swells. I need an excuse to surf up there. Maybe after the Blacks gathering. Although, Sunday is my most flexible day of the week; I could go on short notice. Wayne

I'm in. Lived in SB from 76-89 and surfed Rincon all the time. Hey Sprcky - what about Little Rincon, Pitas, Naples and that other spot just south of El Cap? Geez - I miss it up there!

Sprocky - Yeah, SB is a great area. I've rarely surfed Rincon but have caught it during the winter at 8-10 feet. Just me and my 5'5" freeline fish...waves from out at Third Point all the way into the highway...at 4 AM!

Also, caught Campus Point & El Cap big. And Refugio at 6 feet with only my wife and myself out!

Hey Guys,
If this happens Jan. 16 I'm in.

Hey Eric im up for a Rincon Gathering, today would have been a good day all the points in the area are firing right now.

Guys,

I try to hit Rincon a few times each winter. I would be Way up for it. It has become an annual must!
Scored some awesome Deveraux last year. Draining hollow off the point! Strange, I hear it's pretty Fat and sectiony most of the time. Anyway, play your cards right in the SB area and you wil score.

Count me in on the Rincon Gathering,any excuse to spend a weekend in the S.B erea with waves in the morning and wine country afternoons.

Speaking of Rincon. Looks like I will be down in that neck of the woods on Thursday Dec 9. I have do a few hours of field work on Carpinteria Creek. If all goes well, hopefully I will get a chance to paddle out around 2:00 pm. Anybody around to join me?. Pm me today if you want to hook up. I will be riding red freeline quad if we meet in the water.
