County Line

📍 Local Knowledge

County Line (Yerba Buena Beach) in Ventura County is a well-known and fairly exposed beach and reef break that delivers consistent surf year-round. It performs best when a west swell meets offshore winds from the north-northeast, offering a variety of wave options—beach breaks that provide both lefts and rights, and reef sections that favor long, clean rights. The break is most reliable around mid tide and is popular among locals, meaning it can get crowded during good swells. Surfers should be mindful of submerged rocks and occasional localism in the lineup. The most dependable conditions typically occur during winter, with January being the peak month for clean, rideable waves.
