Venice Breakwater

Venice Breakwater is a WSW-facing beach break in Venice, California, United States. It picks up swell from S to SW and SW to W, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 72% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the ENE: light winds or ENE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while WSW onshores chop it up.
