New Jetty and South Jetty in Ventura offer accessible beach breaks protected by harbor jetties that help shape and focus incoming swells. These sandy-bottomed breaks are ideal for beginners and intermediate surfers, providing consistent, mellow waves with a forgiving learning environment. The jetty structure creates a natural focal point for wave formation and offers some protection from larger ocean swells, making this a reliable destination during Southern California's autumn swell season.
