Ballona Creek

Surf Spot Details

Wave Quality Rating 4 Type of Wave Breakwater / groyne Direction of Wave Left Bottom Sand Difficulty Intermediate surfer Crowd Level Busy Hazards none General Description On those really big days when the beach breaks are closing out in great walls of green and white, the swell is coming from the south, head for Ballona Creek. The take off can be sketchy as your near the end of the jetty, but drop in and you can ride nearly to the bridge on a fairly fast, steep but mushy wave. Lots of fun to ride, paddle to north side of the channel for a clear shot at getting back in the lineup. Fun place to surf when its working, but that is rare.
