Sunset Boulevard surf guide

Sunset Boulevard is a popular surf spot located at the foot of Sunset Boulevard, offering nice views of the Santa Monica shoreline and sunsets over Topanga. It’s a local hangout for surfers looking for a laid-back vibe and good waves. The area can get crowded, especially on good days, but there’s often room for everyone to catch a wave.

The surf here typically features a large, mushy, user-friendly right-hand point break. It's best when the swell comes in from the Southwest, though it can handle swells from the South and West as well. The waves can start rolling in at about 1 ft (0.3 m) and can get bigger, but they are usually consistent. The ideal conditions generally happen during the mid to low tide, and you’ll want a north wind to ensure the best surf. Even beginners will find it manageable, though it can be a bit sectiony at times.

Sunset Boulevard is all about those rippable right-handers breaking over boulders, making it a decent spot for surfers of various skill levels. The scenery is a bonus, and the mix of locals and visitors creates a fun atmosphere. If you’re in the mood for some relaxing surf with a view, this spot might be worth checking out!
