Los Angeles features a massive stretch of coastline with some of the most famous surf breaks in the world. From the legendary longboard peelers of Malibu (Surfrider Beach) to the punchy beach breaks of El Porto and Manhattan Beach, LA offers consistent waves and an iconic surf culture.
Los Angeles County has waves for all skill levels. Beginners often flock to the gentle rollers of Santa Monica or Venice Beach, while more advanced surfers head north to Zuma or south to the South Bay breaks when the swells pick up.
