The town beach can hold some nice triangular sandbars at La Brea with some fun corners amongst the close-out barrels. Takes all swells but faces west so you will need to head towards the southern headland at Balconies or maybe up at the huge concrete pier at Puerto Negritos for wind protection. The left point at Punta Balconies is usually messy and ill defined but there can be some protected left walls amongst the minefield of rocks.
The water must be clean around here as sea lions and dolphins frequent the place.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
