LCI is happy to be working in Ventura, CA this month!
Ventura is a classic west coast beach town, nestled between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. It sits on a stretch of coastline that’s wide open to incoming swells from multiple directions, giving it reliable surf year-round. Winter tends to deliver the most powerful waves, due to offshore Santa Ana winds. While summer brings a more mellow, beginner friendly surf. It’s no surprise that Ventura is repeatedly ranked among top US surfing towns.
If you wander out onto the long wooden pier — one of the longest in California — you’ll get a great look at the waterfront action. Built in 1972, it originally was used as a commercial wharf, but now it’s a favorite spot for fishing, sightseeing, and soaking up the ocean breeze.
