Palos Verdes Cove - Ski Jump surf guide

Palos Verdes Cove - Ski Jump is located at the northern end of the cove, right in front of Flat Rock Point. This spot is known for its mushy right-hander that can be slow and thick, offering a unique surf experience. It's not a top-tier spot, but it has its moments and can handle some decent swell sizes.

This spot really comes alive with swells from the SouthWest and NorthWest, particularly when it’s around 8ft (2.5m) to 15ft (4.5m). The waves break over an uneven reef, which can make for a bit of unpredictability. The best conditions are usually found at mid to high tide, and the preferable wind direction is from the SouthEast. While it may not be the biggest or most powerful wave out there, it can be deceptively strong, so it’s generally best suited for intermediate surfers looking for some fun rides.

When you're heading out here, just keep in mind that the wave direction is right, making it a great place for right-handers to practice. The swell needs a good size to really get going, so make sure to check the forecasts before you grab your board. Enjoy the sessions!
