Los Angeles

The beach of Hermosa Beach, located in Los Angeles, California, offers a large stretch of fine sand with an iconic long pier at the center. It is a popular spot among locals for its wide beach and lively atmosphere.

The harbor wall is at the southern end, while the area around the pier attracts experienced riders. Access is easy with nearby parking and on-site amenities.

It is a typical place on the Californian coast, suitable for all levels when conditions are right.

Location

Detailed information

The dominant wind comes from the northwest or west, often side-on relative to the south-facing beach. Conditions are better with a rare offshore east wind; otherwise, it is often onshore or cross-on, creating chop on the water.

Launching is done directly from the large sandy beach, with a wide take-off area to the north of the pier to avoid the crowd. The main riding area is south of the pier and towards the harbor wall, but stay away from swimming areas and surfers.

The water is generally choppy with swell from the southwest or northwest, cleaner at mid-rising tide. Avoid peak hours when the beach is crowded with walkers and volleyball players.
