This live stream looks out over El Porto Beach in Manhattan Beach, on the South Bay coast of Los Angeles County. It is useful for seeing how the ocean and sky look right now, whether you are planning a surf session, a beach walk or just curious about the Pacific along this stretch of shore.
About the place
Manhattan Beach is a coastal city a short drive south of Los Angeles International Airport, known for its wide sand, its pier area and a lively downtown of shops and restaurants along Manhattan Beach Boulevard. El Porto sits at the northern end of the city and is a well-known spot among local surfers, with a more relaxed feel than the busier beaches farther south. The coastline here is flat and sandy, backed by bluffs and low dunes toward the north.
What you can watch
The camera points at the beach and surf, so the most informative views come in the morning, when the water is often glassier, and in the late afternoon, when the light softens over the Pacific. Swell and wind conditions change the look of the waves a great deal from one day to the next. Weather is a major factor in what you see, so the current conditions shown on this page help explain the scene in the stream.
Practical notes
Southern California has mild, dry summers and cooler, wetter winters, and the ocean stays cool year-round, so a wetsuit is common for surfing outside midsummer. Late spring through early autumn is the most popular time to visit. Parking near El Porto can be limited, so many visitors walk down from the residential streets or use the Strand bike path that runs along the coast. Nearby cameras on this site cover the El Porto overlook and other stretches of the Manhattan Beach shoreline.
