About

Power Plant in Ventura, California, is a beach-break that offers both right and left waves, with a sandy bottom peppered by rocks. The waves come alive with power, forming barrels when the swell hits from the Northwest, ideally starting at 6 to 8 feet and holding up to 10 feet or more. Best surf conditions arise during a falling tide at all tide positions, making it a versatile spot for those willing to brave the lineup. The East winds keep the surface clean, while the backdrop of the local power plant adds a stark, industrial charm to the natural beauty of the coastline.
