Emma Wood is a kitesurfing spot located west of Ventura, California, along Emma Wood State Beach. This coastal spot benefits from a south-facing orientation along the Santa Barbara Channel with regular west afternoon thermal winds. The beach is quieter than downtown Ventura spots and offers a more natural setting with coastal hills as a backdrop.
Open all year round
