Ahhhh, it feels like ‘Tucson by the sea’ ..this is the real summer season in Santa Barbara ..I’ve been in the water almost every day. There’s a local condition known as an ‘offshore flow’ where hot air blows down from the mountains ..pushing cold ‘marine air’ out to sea. It makes the beach feel like the desert. I did some exploring. It turns out that the offshore flow is part of a larger weather system that moves in a circle ..if there’s an off-shore flow here – it means there’s an on-shore flow somewhere else. Sure enough, I watched a giant fogbank move out to sea this morning ..travel up the coast ..then loop back on shore further north ..around Hollister Ranch ..where I sat on a cliff and watched it roll over me this afternoon.
