Leo Carillo

📍 Local Knowledge

Leo Carrillo in Los Angeles County is an exposed reef and point break known for its consistent surf, especially during the summer months. It works best when a south-southwest swell aligns with offshore winds from the north, producing a reliable right-hand reef break. The waves are primarily powered by groundswells and are most favorable around mid tide as it’s rising. When the surf is on, it tends to draw a crowd, and surfers should be cautious of submerged rocks in the lineup. The best conditions for clean, rideable waves are typically found in summer, with October offering the most consistent and favorable surf.
