Little Rincon / Mussel Shoals Also searched as: Mussel Shoals · Little Rincon
A compact, fast right that earns the Little Rincon name when west energy wraps into Mussel Shoals.
Reported direction Right
General swell window W–WNW
Reported tide preference Low–mid
Bottom Rock, cobble & reef The wave can be hollow, sectiony and much less forgiving than Rincon. It is a genuine point wave, not a beginner version of its namesake.
Things to check: Rocks, fast end section, pier/structure hazards, parking constraints, localism and sharks.
Location: Documented point-zone coordinate. Public coastal access near Mussel Shoals—verify current parking. Check current access independently.

Hobson County Park Also searched as: Hobson Beach
A multi-peak reef-and-beach stretch whose best documented reef line is a left, with rights and A-frames nearby.
Reported direction Left & right
General swell window WNW–SW; WNW ideal
Reported tide preference All tides; section dependent
Bottom Rock, reef & cobble The coastline offers different personalities across the park: longer rights toward one end and punchier A-frames through the middle.
Things to check: Rocks, shorebreak, campground users, current and limited shoulder parking.

Hobson’s Reef Also searched as: Hobson’s · Hobsons
A separate reef name south of Hobson County Park, often lost when the whole coast is labeled simply Hobson.
Reported direction Variable reef peak
General swell window W–NW
Reported tide preference Low–mid
Bottom Rock / reef A fairly exposed local reef that favors west swell. Public descriptions vary on exact left/right behavior, so the atlas treats it as a variable peak.
Things to check: Rocks, traffic-side parking, current, local crowd and sharks.
Location: Published coarse reef coordinate. Public coast near Hobson/Faria—verify legal pullout. Check current access independently.

Faria Beach Also searched as: Faria County Beach
Crumbly cobble-and-sand peaks north of Pitas that can be forgiving when small.
Reported direction Left & right
General swell window SW–W
Reported tide preference Mid / incoming
Bottom Sand & cobble A practical longboard and learner option on modest days; larger surf tends to get disorganized and pushy.
Things to check: Cobbles, shorebreak, campground traffic, current and highway noise.

Pitas Point — Outsides Also searched as: Pitas Outsides · Faria Point Outsides
The performance takeoff at Pitas Point: faster, steeper and more consequential than the inside line.
Reported direction Right
General swell window W–WNW
Reported tide preference Low–mid
Bottom Rock, cobble & reef Strong west swells wrap into a long right. Outsides is where shortboarders seek the power before the wave relaxes toward Insides.
Things to check: Rocks, long paddle, current, highway-side access, crowds and localism.
Location: Approximate named-section pin. Public coast near Faria/Pitas—verify legal parking. Check current access independently.

Point / Intermediate; longboard-friendly
Pitas Point — Insides Also searched as: Pitas Insides · Faria Point Insides
The softer inner Pitas wall, a logger-friendly continuation of the point when the outside is too demanding.
Reported direction Right
General swell window W–WNW
Reported tide preference Low–mid
Bottom Cobble & sand Insides trades power for length and ease. On a well-aimed west swell it can provide long shoulders and cleaner crowd separation.
Things to check: Cobbles, crowd, current, highway-side access and rocks near the point.
Location: Approximate named-section pin. Public coast near Faria/Pitas—verify legal parking. Check current access independently.

Mondos Also searched as: Mondo’s
A mellow roadside wave with multiple soft peaks and one of the friendlier learning environments on this coast.
Reported direction Left & right
General swell window SW–W
Reported tide preference Mid–high
Bottom Sand, cobble & scattered reef Mondos is the relief valve among the nearby points: less power, more room and useful longboard shoulders when other spots are too serious.
Things to check: Roadside parking, rocks under some peaks, learners, shorebreak and traffic.
Location: Documented beach-zone coordinate. Mondos Beach public access. Check current access independently.

Outer reef / Advanced
Solimar Reef Also searched as: Solimar Outer Reef
The quality outer Solimar A-frame: exposed, powerful and capable of handling strong west-northwest surf.
Reported direction Right-dominant
General swell window W–NW
Reported tide preference Mid; enough water over reef
Bottom Rock / reef The right is the longer prize; the left is shorter and sharper. The offshore takeoff can remain organized when nearby beachbreaks are wind-affected.
Things to check: Long paddle, reef, heavy sets, rips, sharks, current and highway-side access.
Location: Approximate outer-reef pin. Public coastal access near Solimar—verify parking. Check current access independently.

Solimar Beachbreak Also searched as: Solimar Inside · Solimar Beach
The inside sand-and-cobble peaks beneath the outer reef, offering both directions and softer surf on smaller days.
Reported direction Left & right
General swell window SW–W
Reported tide preference Mid–high
Bottom Sand, cobble & scattered rock Often more forgiving than the reef and somewhat wind-sheltered, though the bar can close out when swell grows.
Things to check: Shorebreak, cobbles, rips, roadside access, learners and runoff.
Location: Approximate inside-beach zone. Public coastal access near Solimar—verify parking. Check current access independently.

A seasonal named beachbreak in the Solimar-to-Emma Wood corridor, distinct from Santa Barbara County’s Summerland.
Reported direction Left & right
General swell window S–W
Reported tide preference Mid; bar dependent
Bottom Sand & cobble The name appears in regional surf reporting but precise peak geometry migrates. It is included as a searchable zone rather than a fixed takeoff.
Things to check: Shorebreak, cobbles, highway-side access, current and shifting sand.
Location: Coarse published-name beach-zone pin. Use only signed public coastal access. Check current access independently.

Reported direction Left & right
General swell window W–NW
Reported tide preference Low–mid
Bottom Sand, cobble & reef patches The exact peak shifts with sand and swell. Both directions are plausible across the mixed bottom, with west energy preferred.

The shifting set of north-Ventura beach peaks between Solimar and Emma Wood.
Reported direction A-frame / left & right
General swell window SW–NW
Reported tide preference Low–mid; bar dependent
Bottom Sand, cobble & scattered reef This is intentionally a zone entry: bars migrate, individual peaks come and go, and different locals subdivide the stretch differently.
Things to check: Rips, shorebreak, cobbles, roadside parking, current and runoff.
Location: Broad reported beachbreak zone. Signed public access along the Ventura north coast. Check current access independently.
