Surfability Score™ Updated Hourly •
Manhattan Beach Pier is seeing playable waves with decent energy from the south but the swell direction is a bit off, so conditions might feel a little uneven. The wind is steady from the west southwest and totally blown out, which will challenge the face quality and overall rideability. The tide is dropping around mid-level and rated fair, so it’s not perfect but still holding sections on the beach break. Overall, it’s worth heading out if you’re chasing some fun sets and can handle the wind chop and tidal stage.
