Silver Strand surf guide

Silver Strand is a mile-long stretch of beach located between the Channel Islands Harbor south jetty and the Port Hueneme north jetty in Oxnard. This spot is pretty popular among surfers and is often featured in surf magazines and videos, even if it's not always named. It's known for its powerful beach breaks and can offer some good surfing sessions, especially during the winter when the waves get pretty epic.

The surf here is best with a west swell, but it can also handle swells from the south and northwest. It's got a solid beach break over sand, and you can expect a mix of left and right waves. It handles swell sizes as small as 2 feet (about 0.6 meters), making it accessible, but it's tip-top for experts looking for a challenge. For the best conditions, aim for low to mid tides and check for east winds, which tend to work well here.

Historically, Silver Strand has had some localism issues, so keep that in mind if you decide to hit the water. The vibe can be a little tense sometimes, but it's all part of the experience. Just remember to be respectful and you'll be fine. Make sure to access the beach via Ocean Drive and park smartly due to past issues with auto vandalism.
