📍 Local Knowledge
Santa Monica Pier, North in LA County is an exposed beach break with fairly consistent surf, working year-round but favoring winter conditions. It performs best with west-southwest groundswells and offshore winds from the northeast. The beach break typically peels to the right and is most effective around low tide. Crowds are occasional, and surfers should watch out for rips and pollution. Optimal surf occurs when a west-southwest swell combines with offshore northeast winds. January is the best month for consistent, clean, rideable waves.
Best Swell: SW
Bottom: Sand
