About

Gillis, nestled in the heart of Los Angeles County, offers waves that dance both right and left over a reef of sharp rocks and sand. The surf comes alive with swells from the Northwest, West, and Southwest, reaching their peak at 2.5 meters when the tide falls. It's a place where the rippable power calls for an intermediate surfer, yet the beauty of the ocean and the jagged jetty remind us of nature's raw edge. Park on Vista del Mar, and let the waves tell the stories of those who dared to ride them.
