Manhattan Beach Surf Cam and Report, California

About this camera

The Surfers View streams this Manhattan Beach cam and surf report from Manhattan Beach, one of the three South Bay beach cities in Los Angeles County, California, along with Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach.

Manhattan Beach is known for its wide, clean beach, its laid-back yet affluent atmosphere and its central pier, built in the 1920s and topped by a small round building at the end, the Roundhouse, which houses a marine aquarium. The beach on both sides of the pier is a popular surf spot, and to the north, El Porto is known for some of the most consistent waves in the Los Angeles area.

Manhattan Beach is also the heart of California beach volleyball. Courts line the sand, and the Manhattan Beach Open, one of the oldest and most prestigious volleyball tournaments, is held next to the pier each summer. The Strand, a paved path along the beach, is popular with walkers, joggers and cyclists.

The camera helps surfers check the waves, wind and crowds before heading out. Expect morning marine layer in late spring and early summer, warm, clear days in late summer and autumn, and bigger swells and beautiful sunsets in winter. California uses Pacific Time.

The stream is provided by The Surfers View.
