Goleta Point (also known as Campus Point) is a small peninsula on the central coast in the U.S. state of California. It is located Шаблон:Convert southwest of the city of Goleta.[1] The point forms an extension into Santa Barbara Channel and is situated within the campus of University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). It is characterized by a beach cliff, crashing waves, and a view of the Channel Islands. The rock formation is frequented by shorebirds.[2]
History
From 1870 to 1890, Goleta Point was used as a whaling camp,[3] with Italian and Portuguese crews situated at the locale.[4] Goleta Point contained a defunct United States Marine Corps Santa Barbara Air Station when it was purchased in 1950 by the University of California.[5] The site is now known as Campus Point.[6] The Campus Point State Marine Conservation Area was established in 2012.[7]
Geography
Goleta Point, located Шаблон:Convert west of Santa Barbara Point, terminates in a cliff about Шаблон:Convert in height. Coal Oil Point is Шаблон:Convert west of Goleta Point. The Isla Vista community is located between Goleta Point and Coal Oil Point. From Goleta Point to Point Conception, Шаблон:Convert, the coast is more rugged than further east. A rock projecting Шаблон:Convert lies in the ocean, Шаблон:Convert west of Goleta Point.[8] The point is west of the Santa Barbara Light.[9] Goleta (Mores) Landing, Шаблон:Convert east of Goleta Point, has a depth of Шаблон:Convert at the end of the wharf.[8] The Goleta Pier is located about Шаблон:Convert from this point; from the pier, the university campus is Шаблон:Convert to the west.[6] Goleta Point is on sheltered stretch of the coast line which is not affected by the westerly and northwesterly winds. The water is clean.[6][10][11]
Goleta point is said to contain one of Santa Barbara's best surf breaks.[10] The break conditions are dependent entirely on the wind direction, direction of the swell, and the tide can create unfavorable conditions. But generally, waves generated in a southwest direction are head high and to a slightly medium height. During an above-average break point "swell wells up to create a solid face that has a wide peak." During low and medium tide periods, the rides can be of longer duration provided the tide does not bounce back from the reef.[11]
