Break types, ratings, and local tips for each beach.
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.
