Best Surf Beaches in Ventura

Solimar offers a trio of options: a quick, ledgy reef peak called Solimar Reef, a mellower point that peels left over cobblestones, and a beachbreak that handles wind swell. The reef is punchy and suited to intermediate surfers comfortable with rocks.

A long right-hand point break that peels down several sections with room for shortboards and longboards. Multiple take-off peaks mean it can handle a crowd, but it's often busy with locals and traveling surfers. Good for intermediate riders who can navigate cobblestones and shifting peaks.

A mellow, rolling wave that breaks over a gently sloping sandbar and cobblestones, ideal for longboards and learners. Mondos picks up most swell directions and has a friendly, welcoming vibe.

A mix of reef and sand peaks with a punchy take-off that mellows into long walls when the reef section lights up. The spot catches most swells and can produce long right and left walls around the offshore reef.
