Redondo Breakwall

Advanced

The Redondo Breakwall is a regional classic that breaks along the King Harbor breakwater. When it's big and working, it produces a fast, walled left over a sandy bottom. This spot is reserved for advanced surfers, as strong currents and powerful waves make it hazardous. It comes alive on large north and west swells and is usually surfed during winter.
