Surfability Score™ Updated Hourly •
Manhattan Beach Pier is seeing solid sets with a wave direction slightly off the ideal summer window, but the swell is building nicely. The wind remains steady from the west southwest, keeping things pretty blown out and making the surf tough to ride cleanly. The tide is rising near mid-level, which is holding the shape a bit but won’t really improve conditions given the wind. If you’re keen, expect some playable waves but nothing close to perfect right now.
