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.
