About

Indicator, nestled in Los Angeles County, is a rugged point break that offers rippable lefts over a sharp reef, best surfed during the winter months. The waves begin to show at 3 to 5 feet, holding their power and form up to 16 feet, particularly on falling tides at low to mid tide. Expect a crowd eager for the consistent, albeit sloppy, surf that can dish out heavy, bowling tubes when conditions align with northwest swells and southeast winds. Beware the sharp rocks and occasional rips, as this spot is reserved for those with experience and a taste for adventure.
