📍 Local Knowledge
Santa Monica Beach South in Los Angeles County is an exposed beach break with quite reliable surf that works year-round. It performs best with southwest groundswells and offshore winds from the northeast. The beach break offers both lefts and rights and is most effective around mid tide. Crowds can be occasional, and surfers should be cautious of rips, undertow, and pollution. Optimal surf conditions occur when a southwest swell combines with offshore northeast winds. December is the best month for consistent, clean, rideable waves.
Best Swell: SW
Bottom: Sand
