Frequently asked
Is Venice Jetties working right now?
As of the latest buoy reading (2026-10-18 13:00 UTC), Venice Jetties is marginal: the live 4–6 ft short-period swell from the N is off its ideal S direction and is bigger than usual, and the wind is strong from the NE.
Is Venice Jetties good for beginners?
Venice Jetties is best for improving and intermediate surfers — it's most often good on 2–4 ft surf, manageable on its smaller days but a step up from true beginner conditions. Conditions change daily, so always check the live report on this page before paddling out.
What's the best tide for Venice Jetties?
Venice Jetties tends to be best on a mid incoming tide — the tide stage LazySurfer surfers have rated highest here. Tide changes how the swell breaks, so check the two-day tide chart on this page for today's high and low times.
What swell direction is best for Venice Jetties?
The best swell direction for Venice Jetties is from the south (S). Swell arriving from the south lines up best with how this break faces, which is when LazySurfer surfers have rated it highest.
What's the best wind for Venice Jetties?
Venice Jetties is most often good when it's glassy, with little to no wind — the conditions LazySurfer surfers have rated highest here. Light or offshore wind keeps the wave face clean; check the live report on this page for current wind.
Where does LazySurfer's surf data for Venice Jetties come from?
LazySurfer reads public data directly from NOAA's National Data Buoy Center and the National Weather Service — the nearest NDBC wave buoy (station 42098) and the nearest NOAA tide station (Port Manatee). The same raw readings NOAA publishes, with no proprietary smoothing.
Does LazySurfer predict whether Venice Jetties is good for me?
Yes. LazySurfer trains a custom deep-learning model — a PyTorch neural network with per-user embeddings, retrained weekly on real logged surf sessions from the LazySurfer community — to predict the 1-to-5 star rating you personally would give, rather than a single average rating for everyone.
