The Wave

Breaks tend to ride best on west to west-northwest groundswells at mid-to-high tide, and an east/ENE offshore breeze sharpens peaks - avoid the day after heavy rain due to pollution/runoff.

Check the live tide windows in the app to time your session perfectly.

🏄

Lineup Guide

The middle section of Torrance (locally called Burnout) gets busy fast and should be approached with caution because persistent rip currents and frequent surf schools increase lineup congestion and risk.

Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
