Spot Guide
Skunk Point is a rocky point break located along Santa Barbara County's rugged coastline, where consistent SSW swells wrap around the headland to create well-defined, peeling waves. The break benefits from a natural point formation that offers multiple takeoff zones and varying wave heights depending on swell angle and tide, making it a quality option for intermediate surfers seeking less crowded conditions. The rocky bottom and surrounding cliffs create a scenic, somewhat isolated setting that rarely gets overrun despite producing quality, shapely waves.
