The south side of Ventura Harbor's South Jetty fizzes into fast, hollow right-hand peaks over sandbars-compact, punchy rides that reward bold shortboarders. Get the latest surfing conditions, forecast, and tide details for New Jetty/South Jetty in California.
Forecast
As of:
Sandbars shift with the Santa Clara River-fed shoaling, so the break most consistently fires on W-SW long-period swell with light NE offshore winds.
Expect usable waves at low-mid tides, and increased crowding when the harbor mouth panels up.
The narrow takeoff zone below the south jetty produces steep, sometimes hollow rights and strong, persistent rips - respect the local lineup and beware the hazard notices on the harbor maps.
Stop guessing and start surfing. WaveWise analyzes live data to find your best upcoming sessions so you spend less time planning and more time paddling out.
