A good question. I don’t think so. If you read any textbook on oceanography,
the chapter on currents and lateral drift will surely mention Santa Barbara
Harbor and show an aerial photograph. Despite being warned not to build Santa
Barbara Harbor by the Army Corps of Engineers, the place is situated in such a
manner that the normal lateral current that carries sand down the beach is
interrupted by the breakwater and the configuration of our harbor. This causes
the sand drop out of the current and fill up the mouth of the harbor. So every
year, sometimes more than once a year, they fire up the harbor dredge that sits
there at anchor waiting for duty!

The Harbor entrance is closed due to it being filled up with sand, and with a
negative tide on the horizon, captain Dave has decided to cancel the public
whale watch previously scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday.
Please pass the word.
Thanks for all you do
