The sandbars around the Manhattan Beach Pier are covered by a free live cam from Swell Magnet.

About the Break

The wave here is a fairly standard South Bay beach break, more forgiving than nearby El Porto, which makes it a favorite for the local longboard and beginner crowd. It works best on a solid west or northwest swell.
