About
At Ventura Overhead, nestled in the heart of Ventura, California, waves rise like giants, offering both lefts and rights that barrel with a fierce power. This rocky reef breaks best under a Northwest or West swell, thriving at low to mid tide, when the sea breathes life into its sharp coral and stones. The surf begins to pulse at around 6 to 8 feet, holding strong even as it climbs to 16 feet or more, demanding respect and skill from all who dare to paddle out. The solitude of this spot, hidden just a stone's throw from the bustling coast, beckons those seeking the thrill of uncrowded waves and the beauty of nature's raw power.
