Sunset sessions in Venice

Venice, California

Recommendations refresh every 30 minutes based on tide, wind, and crowd telemetry from Quiver.

After-work glass-offs in Venice can rival dawn patrol on good days. Afternoon thermals die, the crowd thins, and these 2 west-facing breaks catch the last clean sets of the day.

Top spot recommendations

Sort your quiver, choose the right tide window, and jot down a backup in case the main peak gets stacked.

Featured Beaches(2)

Venice Beach

Beginner friendly

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

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.

What to focus on today

  • West-facing beaches for stunning sunset views
  • Often cleaner afternoon conditions
  • Golden hour photography opportunities
  • After-work session favorites
