Located in South Bay, Los Angeles, Southern California, Bay Street is a pretty good beach break that rolls over a sand bottom. This is the main beach in Santa Monica. The waves here are pretty easy to surf and break for up to 50 meters providing great sections for cruising as well as practising manoeuvres. Beware of pollution in the water.
What are the best surf conditions for Bay Street?
Gets good from waist high to overhead. We recommend a longboard here or a shortboard when bigger. Bay Street will provide fun opportunities for all levels of surfers depending on the swell. The surf here is consistent (7/10) and will always have a crew on it (7/10). The best winds are from the Northeast. The best swells are from the Northwest, South, Southwest, and West (the peakier the better). Best on a lower to mid-tide.
