Ballona Creek/The Jetty is a spot located just south of Toes Over. It's known for its unique setup where the waves break over sand. This makes it pretty accessible for surfers looking to catch some rides without too much hassle. There’s free on-street parking available along Esplanade and Ballona Creek, so you can find a place to park without breaking the bank.

The surf here is mainly lefts, which can be quite shapely but often tends to be mushy. It works best at low tide with a small W-SW swell, especially when the swell is coming from the south or northwest. You can surf here with swell sizes around 1 ft (0.3 meters), which makes it a chill spot for longboarders. If you're looking to catch cleaner waves, the preferable wind direction is from the northeast, so keep an eye on the forecast.

Ballona Creek/The Jetty is definitely a spot to consider for a relaxed surf session. It’s not the most challenging wave around, but it can be enjoyable, especially on the right day. Just remember, the conditions can vary, so it might be worth checking the tide and swell before heading out.
