Local Knowledge & Surf Guide

Local Knowledge

Trancas Point in LA County is an exposed point break that receives most of its surf from distant groundswells, favoring a west swell direction. The best wind for clean conditions comes from the north, making offshore winds ideal for surfing here. The spot works best around mid tide and can sometimes get crowded. Surfers should be cautious of submerged rocks that pose hazards. Optimal conditions occur when a west swell pairs with offshore winds from the north. The prime season for consistent clean waves with rideable swell and light or offshore winds is during winter, particularly in January.
