|
|
Any one know about westside LA (Playa Del Rey - Santa Monica) launches for prefrontal or clearing winds? I am familiar with the typical thermal spots but looking for a place close to work to poach a session if Friday afternoon prefontals of Saturday clearing winds come. |

Try Sunset Point just south of Sunset Blvd. Launch just south of Gladstones. |

Mostly, clearing winds very onshore, and with some swell, you're heading outside of Manhattan, so no surfsailing. |

At all the west facing South Bay beaches clearing winds are straight onshore. If there is any kind of swell, or a stout close frequency windswell, it's virtually impossible to get off the beach. Kiters, on the other hand, find it quite a bit easier to get out, and they can run up and down the beach parallel to the shoreline. Often I've seen them at the most southerly end of Torrance Beach. |

Bring a fsw type board and it works great at Gladstones or OBSF. |
