About Surf Beach

Situated near Lompoc along Vandenberg Space Force Base, Surf Beach—alongside Ocean Beach County Park, Jalama Beach, and Point Arguello—offers a raw, windswept, and uncrowded coastal experience. Jalama Beach is legendary for heavy, high-quality surf breaks that attract experienced boarders, as well as beachcombing for agates and chert. The rocky points around Point Arguello feature rugged intertidal habitats, though public access can be restricted. Checking tide charts is vital when visiting these exposed beaches; low tide is necessary to safely walk the beach around Jalama’s headlands, time clean surf windows, and prevent rising tides from cutting off access along the high, isolated bluffs.
