Campus Point

Campus Point is an SSW-facing point break in Santa Barbara, California, United States. It picks up swell from WSW to W, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 81% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the NNE: light winds or NNE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while SSW onshores chop it up.

Rare slot: the San Miguel Passage lets in swell from 224.2° (SW) and nothing either side. It only lines up when a storm sits in that exact direction, more than 58 km out. How slot swells work
