South Los Angeles Forecast
Kevin Wallis •Today
Solid day of waves, esp. for Manhattan north. Semi-clean AM, mostly lined/walled up. Some PM bump.
SSW swell tops out and mixes with just a bit of NW swell. Sharp gradient in surf size from south to north: knee-waist high waves at average spots further south. Better breaks chest-shoulder-high+ as far north standouts go head-high to a little larger at times. Mostly walled, especially on the earlier low tide, but just enough NW for the occasional corner.
Light onshore SW-W early for some crumble, which will nudge up through the AM. Manageable SW-W PM onshores and a partial evening clean up.

Manhattan Beach Pier Surf Guide
The best bets for good surf are mixed, combo swells and hope for defined sandbars. All spots south of Manhattan are increasingly shadowed from south/summer swell and rely primarily on southwest, west, and northwest swells. Marine Street is usually the best south swell spot in Manhattan. The beachbreaks are usually walled with some better-shaped waves near the Manhattan Pier.
