About
Venice Breakwater, nestled in the heart of LA County at 33.9851937 latitude and -118.4769233 longitude, is a regional classic that demands respect and skill. Here, waves break both right and left over a sandy bottom, powered by swells from the Northwest, West, Southwest, and South, perfecting their form at mid to high tide on a falling tide. Rippable at 3ft to 10ft+, the spot attracts a mix of locals and visitors, each vying for a piece of the action amid the vibrant scene of Venice Beach. As the sun dips, the water pulses with life, a testament to the surf culture that flourished here in the 60s and 70s, where every ride is a dance with the ocean’s spirit.
