What are you looking for specifically? Here are some sites that have some photography from myself and some of my bros. www.santabarbaraseals.com & www.goldcoastgroms.com. I also have a myspace profile at myspace.com/rinconjp. Hope you enjoy. Have a great day :o)

I can say that if there is a strong south west swell there will be waves here in Santa Barbara County. A few option that you have are : Drive to Jalama where you will find Beach Break that can be anywhere from 2-8 ft depending on the swell direction. The trick is to get  up there early because it blows out by 9-10 am. Ventura county is only 30 - 40 min away and has plenty of swell in the summer time that can accommodate their reef, point and beach breaks. Your friend is partially correct that there is less swell here in the summer time relative to Orange County, San Diego County and Santa Cruz.. Rincon is usually flat in the summer except for the occasional wind swell. Hope this info was helpfull and try not to tell everybody. :o)

I hate to tell you guys but Jalama, Rincon, and Santa Cruz would be crowded regardless of your discussion.
