Surfability Score™ Updated Hourly •
Hermosa Beach Pier is seeing playable swell that’s building toward solid size, though the wave direction isn't quite ideal, so sets are a bit unpredictable. The tide is dropping near mid-level, shaping the waves to hold but not peel perfectly. Southwest winds at 10 mph keep the surface a little junky, so expect onshore influence and less than glassy conditions. Still, there’s enough power in the waves to make for an engaging session if you don’t mind the wind chop.
