About
Burnout, nestled in Los Angeles County, offers a rippable beach break with waves that dance both right and left over a sandy bottom. The surf thrives in winter, particularly in January, when groundswells from the west mix with east winds, creating ideal conditions. This spot can get crowded, but the thrill of riding waves that range from less than 1 meter to over 4 meters keeps surfers returning. Just mind the strong rips and pollution that may lurk beneath the surface.
