About
Arnold, nestled in Ventura, California, is a sand-bar break that delivers the goods when conditions align, offering both right and left waves that can rise to over 6 feet. This spot, best surfed at mid tide during rising and falling movements, is a regional classic, drawing fewer crowds despite its inconsistent nature. With groundswells more prevalent than windswells, the ideal conditions materialize with a southwest swell and northeast offshore winds. While the sandy bottom cushions your fall, be mindful of the lurking rips and occasional sharks in the water.
