Port Hueneme A classic beachbreak setup complete with a harbor jetty, a fishing pier, and million dollar condos overlooking the sand. The jetty to the north is the entrance to the Port Hueneme Harbor. It does a great job of holding the sand in place and consistenly offers a fun shoulder or two. The jetty lines are predictable and can get bowly on a solid summer pulse. South of here is the fishing pier. This is a pretty typical pier setup with broken up sandbars and fast lines peeling in both directions, depending on the dominant swell angle. As long as the winds are cooperative, Port Hueneme's surf is generally hollow and heavy. The shoreline here sees quite a bit of sand movement, but usually can hold its own on both high and low tides. However, extreme negative tides can seriously drain the beachbreak leaving behind a shapeless closeout. Crossed up swells make for a panoramic view of stellar peaks dumping up and down the beach. Be aware that south of the pier is usually bigger and more consistent during hefty swells due to the harbor jetty shadow. There's also another key point to remember: Due to the curvature of the shoreline here, the north end of the beach is partially sheltered from the afternoon winds. Northwest breezes are actually side-offshore here. Just something to keep in mind when the winds are howling and everywhere else is choppy and lumpy.
