Santa Barbara Harbor is a public boat ramp in Santa Barbara County, California, on Pacific Ocean. From here SeaStatus scores 2 waters: Santa Barbara Channel and East Santa Barbara Channel from Pt. Conception to Pt. Mugu CA including Santa Cruz Island (Area 2 of 5).
The main water here is East Santa Barbara Channel from Pt. Conception to Pt. Mugu CA including Santa Cruz Island (Area 2 of 5). Nearshore water is scored mostly on wind and wave height, with wave steepness and the tidal current counting too. A current running against the wind is treated as worse than either one alone. Wind, and waves where it reports them, come from NDBC buoy 46053, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 9411340, Santa Barbara, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 0.0 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
