Spot Guide › United States › California › Venice Pier high-tide prone-foil candidate
California, United States · 33.9856, -118.4734
Season
January 2025 candidate report; no recurring season established
Water
Venice beachbreak beside the pier in a very-high-tide window; size and bank are not published
Experience
Community candidate — experienced local confirmation and current crowd check required
Hazards
Dense surf and swim use, pier structure, shallow or shifting sandbars, shorebreak and a narrow very-high-tide claim with no completed foil-session detail. Treat this as a candidate, not a surveyed launch.
Parking & access
The forum names Venice Pier but gives no legal foil entry, parking, rigging area or swimmer/surfer separation plan. Confirm current lifeguard rules and the working bank locally.
“A Progression Project forum community reply identifies Venice Pier waves as foilable when the tide is very high. The surrounding discussion is about beginning traditional/prone foiling at Venice, but the reply is candidate-level guidance rather than a completed-session report.”
