Manhattan Beach - El Porto Overlook Surf Cam

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ California Β· United States β€” Altitude 35 m

Local time UTC-7Checked 0 viewsHDBeach

This camera looks down on the El Porto stretch of Manhattan Beach, a popular spot for surfers on the South Bay coast of Los Angeles County. The image refreshes regularly, so you can judge the conditions before deciding whether to go down to the water.

A relaxed beach town

Manhattan Beach sits on a narrow strip of sand between the Pacific Ocean and a dense grid of residential streets, a few kilometres south-west of Los Angeles International Airport. The town is known for its long, wide beach, its pier area and an easygoing, active character built around volleyball, cycling and surfing. El Porto, at the north end, is one of the best-known breaks in the area and draws a mix of local and visiting surfers.

What to watch and when

The view is aimed at the surf zone and the beach, so the most useful thing to check is the size and shape of the waves and how crowded the water looks. Mornings are often calmer, while afternoons can bring stronger onshore breeze that changes the surface. The picture is only a snapshot of the moment, so conditions can shift quickly, especially around tide changes and after storms further out at sea.

Planning a visit

The coast has a mild Mediterranean-type climate, with warm, dry summers and mild, slightly wetter winters, and marine layer fog is common in late spring and early summer mornings. Autumn is often considered the most comfortable season for both sun and swell. Nearby cameras on the same stretch of coast, including the El Porto Beach view and the North Manhattan Beach surf view, let you compare conditions along the shoreline before you go.
