Ventura Point
Cobblestone right point at the end of Surfers Point Park in Ventura. Shaped by Santa Barbara Channel refraction at the downstream end of the west-northwest swell window.
Spot intel
Parking
Paid lot at the end of Figueroa Street. Free street parking along the bike path and around the Ventura County Fairgrounds.
Crowd
Thick. Longboard presence runs generational. The sea breeze starts after 11:00 and tightens the morning lineup before conditions go off.
Beginner-friendly?
Depends.
On small days the wave opens up for confident intermediates. On any size, the high-priority cobblestone wall at the heart of the point is not a novice wave.
Lineup etiquette
At a longboard point, priority extends further back along the shoulder than at a shortboard break. Paddling inside an active takeoff is the standard call-out.
When it's on
Long-period west-northwest groundswell with light offshore wind from the northeast through east. Incoming mid-tide window.
