The Santa Barbara Breakwater is always a picturesque destination spot for locals and tourists—but right now the scene is even more spectacular.
This weekend, dozens of surfers were enjoying the big waves and high tides. The sandspit by the harbor is almost completely washed out, allowing people to paddleboard and surf near and next to the breakwater. El Niño driven waves are causing a spectacle at the breakwater.
Adding further flair to the weekend, a college sailing competition is taking place all weekend just outside the Harbor. UCSB is one of more than a dozen participants. These photos were shot on an iPhone.
