South Los Angeles Forecast
Matt Kibby •Today
Fun to mid-sized mix of old SSW and new SW swell. Mid-AM window looking best.
Dawn-10am: Another strong round of long period SW(220-200) swell. The westerly direction is good for the South Bay, spreading size much more evenly than the recent SSW/S swells. Waist-stomach high waves pushing chest-shoulder to a bit overhead at better spots as standouts around Manhattan/Venice go overhead+.
Drained early morning tide to wait out, winds look okay for the mid-AM window as shape improves.
Afternoon Outlook: Size holds, manageable SSW for the PM
