About This Spot
Known as the "Queen of the Coast," Rincon is one of California's most iconic surf spots. Located at the Ventura/Santa Barbara County line, this world-class right point break produces long, well-formed waves during winter swells. The break is divided into three sections: the Cove, Rivermouth, and Indicator, each offering unique surfing experiences. Best surfed at low tide with west to northwest swells.
