Located just south of the Chevron smoke stacks, El Porto has an underwater canyon that focuses swell into this North Manhattan Beach break resulting in wave heights that are usually a few feet larger and a bit less walled than the surrounding areas. With a large beach front parking lot and year round waves, this spot can get crowded on weekends. Locals like to claim that this is the best and most consistent wave in LA and with the majority of the breaks up north shutting down during the winter months they may be on to something.
