Additional Surfing Infos |
| | There is absolutely no question that Oxnard Shores picks up a south swell bigger and often better than any other spot in Ventura County. When a summer-fall south swell mixes with a slight NW swell, the result is a series of hollow, A-frame bowls spanning the entire beach. It's not unusual to see the barrels spittin'. It's best at low or medium-low tide. Sometimes at high tide the waves under 5 feet back down because the sandbar is narrow (accounting for the quick pitch and rapid jacking up nature of the place) and there is deep water between the bar and the beach. It's the hollowest, south wave in Ventura County. Be prepared to get worked regardless of the size. It breaks hard, or it does not break! A weird thing is, that durring the summer, the Silver Strand, located just a few miled south, goes virtually dormant, while Oxnard Shores comes alive. During recent years, many new huge beach mansions have filled in the vacant beach lots. This has seemed to keep the crowds down lately. There really is no local scene here anymore. Sometimes it's so good and there is nobody out, weird!!! It also gets huge NW swells in the winter but often it's too closed out unless there is a strong offshore Santa Anna wind. In that case, go to the "Strand" or up to Ventura Point. Oxnard often gets some early onshore winds, so I'll often just go up to Ventura Point

Overview |

Atmosphere |
Rarely anyone around. If so, find another peak. It breaks everywhere.
Try the waves near Neptune Square. Best peak there in 2001. |

General |
Its good, but there are better spots nearby... |

Any Bars?
Well there was swell in the water, and I just finished repairing my fun board, so I had to take it for a test drive in front of the house. The wind was onshore, and the bars are not that great yet, but I definitely had the right board.
