C-Street

C-Street is a south-facing beach break located in Oxnard, California, featuring a sandy beach with moderate wave exposure to the Pacific Ocean. The spot sits in a developed coastal area with significant urban infrastructure, including parking facilities and residential zones immediately inland. Wave conditions are generally modest, with an average height of 0.92m, making it accessible for beginners during optimal conditions. The location benefits from side-shore winds from the east, though wind reliability is notably low at 2.2%, suggesting this is primarily a summer-dependent spot. Water temperatures average 15.5°C, requiring a wetsuit year-round. The beach is sheltered somewhat by rocky formations to the north and features visible pier infrastructure to the south, which can create complex wave patterns. This spot suits beginner to early intermediate riders seeking protected, smaller-wave conditions. Key considerations include timing sessions around parking availability, avoiding peak beach hours, and monitoring wind direction closely given the low reliability statistics. The modest fetch distance and urban setting make this better suited for skill development than wave quality.
