EXPLANATION

What is driving today’s result?

NWS alert details: Coastal Flood Advisory (Oct 25, 5:00 AM – Oct 29, 1:00 PM PDT). The Coastal Flood Advisory is the primary reason today is NOT RECOMMENDED; this safety condition takes priority over otherwise favorable wave, wind, or weather inputs. Outside that safety stop, 2.0 ft wave height and 7 sec wave period would otherwise support the planning inputs.

LOCAL SURF CONTEXT

Surf locations near Ventura

Ventura Point / California Street

Ventura Point, also called California Street or C Street, contains several surfing sections near the county fairgrounds. Sand and cobblestone conditions vary; the area-wide wave forecast does not resolve the shape or surfability of each section.

Account for rocks and changing currents, and verify beach access, official warnings and surf conditions on site.

Coverage: CoastalNow uses NOAA/NWS area forecasts and rule-based scores, not real-time measurements at this surf break. No wave direction, board suitability or guaranteed safe surf is inferred.

Spot reference: Surfline Ventura Point Surf Guide (external, descriptive guide; not a CoastalNow data provider).
