About
Drain Pipes, nestled in Ventura, California, offers surfers a regional classic with its sandy beach breaks. The waves, powerful and capable of barreling, dance with both right and left directions, best surfed at mid to high tide during rising and falling tides. With swells starting at 5 to 6 feet and holding up to 12 feet, this spot thrives on northwesterly, westerly, and southwestern swells, while southeast, east, and northeast winds create ideal conditions. The call of the ocean here is strong, a siren’s song for those seeking the thrill of the ride.
