Surfability Score™ Updated Hourly •
Manhattan Beach Pier is sitting with solid southwest swell energy that’s building but still a bit on the smaller side. The waves have decent punch thanks to the longer swell interval and good direction. The WSW wind at 10 mph is steady and strong enough to blow out conditions, making the surf pretty junky. The tide is rising near 5 feet, which generally doesn’t help much here, so expect the waves to be a bit mushy and less powerful.
