Located in Santa Barbara in Southern California, Haskels Beach is a decent beach break that rolls over a rock and sand bottom. the waves here can be really fun to surf, gets peaky but can also provide some good walls (pump pump pump!) and can break for up to 50 meters racing down the line. Waves here sometimes barrel and are good for practising airs.
What are the best surf conditions for Haskels Beach?
Gets good between chest high and double overhead. We recommend a shortboard for this break. Haskels Beach is best suited to intermediate and advanced surfers. The surf here is pretty consistent (6/10) and can be crowded on weekends (6/10). The best winds are from the East, Northeast, and Southeast. The best swells come from the Northwest, Southwest, and West. This break works on all tides, although higher is generally better.
We recommend wearing a 3/2 wetsuit in the summer here when water temperatures peak at 17 degrees. In the winter water temperatures drop to 13 degrees, so we recommend wearing a 4/3. See the temperature chart below for more data on this.
