About This Spot

County Line, on the border of LA and Ventura counties, features a right-hand cobblestone reef break at the northern end and 500 yards of beach break to the south. Conditions range from peaky lefts and rights to heavy closeouts. On larger swells, currents and rips become strong and the point turns into an advanced wave.

Local Etiquette

Respect the lineup and take turns. Beginners should avoid the point on big days and surf the beach break instead.
