C-Street Ventura, California (USA)

It's windy all year through with December to February being the worst months and March and April strong. The rest of the year is very good for 10 to 16 meter kites. Wind is always from the NW, sideshore from the right (facing the ocean).

Summer temps are around 65-70°F (low 20's°C) and winter is just a little colder. The water gets cold in winter and you should bring a 3/4 mm wetsuit and in summer a thinner one will suffice.

C-Street is a wave spot with waves between 2 ft on small days and 6 to 8 ft on bigger days. The waves are clean but it can be choppy beyond the surf zone. The surf zone is lined with round small rocks. Choose the river inlet to launch into the waves. A lot of rocks just below the water surface, and also some old rusted pole you only see at low tide. If you drop your kite outside and get washed through the surfers, don't expect less than many not so friendly words as you drift through. A possible physical confrontation is not out of the question. Not a user friendly kite spot. There is also a well established rotation in the surf with the local kiters. Respect that as well. Not a spot to learn to wave kite or learn for that matter. If you can not stay up wind don't even think about it.
