About This Spot
The El Segundo Jetty is a reliable breakwater break just south of LAX. It picks up southwest swells and offers lefts and rights. Summer brings the most consistent surf, and the best conditions occur when a southwest swell meets a northeast offshore wind. The surf is rarely crowded but pollution and man-made obstacles can be issues.
Local Etiquette
Respect the industrial area and don't trespass on restricted property. Pack out all trash.
