Description
Jelly Bowl - Carpinteria, California
Jelly Bowl features a right-hand reef break with a rocky bottom, offering hollow, ordinary, and fun waves. This spot typically works best at mid to high tide during rising conditions, particularly with northwest or west swells. Access requires a 15-30 minute walk south from Carpinteria State Beach, with no public access directly to the spot.
Located at the south end of Carpinteria State Beach, Jelly Bowl is a secluded wave that provides an escape from the crowds. While it can be mellow, it lights up with solid swells, making it a fun option for surfers looking for less competition. Be cautious of localism and potential hazards like rips, undertow, and rocks in the take-off zone. Although not heavily populated with sharks, it's wise to stay alert. The atmosphere is laid-back, but respect the locals to ensure a smooth session.
