Water is smooth due to a kelp bed about 500m offshore. Waves are glassy, but not too large, waist high at best.

Narrow beach, and the wind sucks on the inside due to cliffs. It's best to get out as fast as possible. Not a beginner launch. Not for sand dragging or body dragging. Landing is very hard alone: stand in waist high water and try to land on the beach without hitting the cliff with your kite. It's worth it for the water conditions, if it's windy though.

Generally sideonshore and either 20+ or not at all. Sporadic wind in the winter, but when it blows, it's awesome.

Exit the 101 freeway at Los Carneros. Go towards the ocean until you hit Isla Vista. Then make a right on El Colegio, and then the first left. Follow this straight until you hit Del Playa, which runs parallel to the ocean. Turn right and continue until Del Playa ends. Park here and walk down stairs to the beach.

Launching and landing is prohibited at the next beach up the coast (Sands Beach) because it is a nature reserve (Coal Oil Point Reserve) with a protected threatened snowy plover population.
