If the grey sky is bumming you out, grab a car and blast The Beach Boys Surfing Safari as you drive Highway 101, north of Los Angeles. The destination is a corner of beach known for it’s well-shaped waves and extended rides. Tucked in between Ventura and Santa Barbara is Rincon, one of the best places to surf in California and known around the world as some must visit surf turf. Because of it’s location, this spot is probably best savored in the winter months when the swells come in from northwest and west. Sometime every January, the Rincon Classic is held. Once your surf day is a wrap, mosey on over to Santa Barbara for some grub. The weather is temperate all year long, so good weather is almost a guarantee.
