Additional Information
Breaks at the point and also 100 meters east on a sandbar in front of the Camino Majorca stair access. Can handle prevailing NW wind. Infested with kelp and lots of tar from oil deposits. Waves by the point can get hollow at 6ft+ but otherwise usually just a fun, cruisey wave. Lots of UCSB students and Goleta old-timers. Gets good on powerful W swells.
Atmosphere
Mellow place, good for longboarding. Occasional ocean kayakers and SUPs. Friendly students facilitate a fun atmosphere.

Dev - Dev can get really fun but there are some rocks from the land of the lost underneath you. And oh not to mention watch out for all the school kids getting caught inside and taking you out

- 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!) =) =) =)
