The Surf Window

Ventura Harbor

Santa Barbara/Ventura, USA

Beach breakIntermediate

A sand-bottom beach break right beside the Ventura harbor mouth, with rights that can peel into shape on a south swell. Sheltered from most of the northwest wind by the harbor breakwall, so often surfable when everything else is blown out. Watch boat traffic if you drift toward the channel.
