Flanked by the Channel Islands Harbor south jetty and the Port Hueneme north jetty, this popular mile-long stretch of powerful beachbreak is often seen (but not identified) in surf magazines and videos. Always gets some kind of surf with epic barrels during the wintertime, it takes a S nicely too.
Site of nasty localism in years past; beware of potentially sour attitudes in and out of the water. Runoff pollution after rain. Access is via Ocean Drive in Oxnard. Due to history of auto vandalism, park strategically.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
