This live stream looks out over Santa Monica, a beach city on the Pacific coast of Southern California. It is useful for seeing the state of the shoreline and sky before you head out, or simply for watching the ocean from afar.
Santa Monica sits on the western edge of Los Angeles, where the city meets the Pacific. It is known for its long sandy beaches, the historic Santa Monica Pier and a walkable downtown with shops and cafes. The coastline is low and open, so the horizon and the sky usually dominate the view. The city has a laid-back, outdoor character that draws both locals and visitors through much of the year.
Because the camera is on a beach, the most useful things to check are the sea state, the amount of haze and the crowd level on the sand. Mornings often start with marine clouds that burn off later, so the view can change noticeably within a few hours. Late afternoon and sunset are popular for watching light over the water. Exact details depend on the view and the conditions of the day.
Santa Monica has a mild Mediterranean-type climate, with warm dry summers and cooler, mostly sunny winters. Spring and early autumn are often the most comfortable times for a beach visit. Public transit and the Metro's Expo Line connect the city with central Los Angeles. Nearby on VizCams you can also open the Santa Monica view and several Venice Beach cameras to compare conditions along the coast.
