Venice Breakwater

Intermediate

The Venice Breakwater is a hollow and powerful sandbar/jetty break that produces lefts and rights over a sandy bottom. It needs a solid west or northwest swell and offshore northeast wind to break cleanly. Strong currents around the jetty and a competitive local scene make it better for intermediate surfers.

Venice Beach

Beginner friendly

Venice Beach is an iconic LA surf spot with a classic beach break setup.
