Local Knowledge & Surf Guide

Local Knowledge

Indicator in Los Angeles County is a reasonably exposed reef and point break offering fairly consistent surf, especially during winter. Offshore winds from the southeast combined with groundswells from the northwest create the best conditions. The reef breaks provide both left and right waves, alongside a left-hand point break. Best surf is typically around mid tide. This popular spot can sometimes get crowded, with hazards including rocks and rips. The ideal surf conditions occur when a northwest swell coincides with offshore winds from the southeast, with January being the prime month for consistent clean waves in winter.
