About
At Pickles, nestled in the heart of Los Angeles County, surfers find a point-break that offers both right and left waves over a sharp reef bottom. The swells from the Northwest bring mushy waves that begin to work at less than three feet and can hold up to just over that, especially during mid to high tide on a rising tide. The vibe shifts from friendly on weekdays to a bit gruff on weekends, as locals stake their claim with a wary eye. Beware the rocks and the localism; a smile can go a long way in this gritty surf spot.
