Surfability Score™ Updated Hourly •
Hermosa Beach Pier is seeing playable waves with good energy but the swell direction is a bit off, so sets aren’t lining up perfect. The tide is dropping around mid-range, keeping the waves more manageable but less powerful. Wind is WSW at a mild to moderate pace, which is starting to turn the surf a little junky and making conditions less clean than earlier. Still worth a paddle, just expect some bump and chop with fair wave shape.
