Hammerland

Hammerland is a surf spot located in Los Angeles County, California. It’s situated in front of the El Segundo Clearway Energy station and is also known as ‘El Segundo Jetty’. The surf spot provides both left and right waves. The left-hander is north of the jetty, while the right-hander is south of it. Hammerland has a sand bottom and works best during medium and high tides. The spot is suitable for intermediate surfers and pros, depending on the conditions. When the waves are small, it’s fun and easy, but when it starts pumping, it can become barreling and is only recommended for advanced surfers. Surfers can use shortboards, mid-length and retro boards, or longboards at this spot. Hammerland is a regional classic with moderate crowds, so it’s important to respect the locals and follow surf etiquette. The wave length ranges from 50 to 150 meters. For the best surf conditions, look for southwest or west swells with a minimum height of 2 feet, and northeast or east winds. Nearby spots include El Porto, Shit Pipe, Dockweiler Beach, Manhattan Marine St., and Manhattan Pier. When planning your surf session, check the surf forecast and report for up-to-date information. It’s crucial to assess your skills before paddling out to ensure the spot and conditions match your surfing level. Remember that surf conditions can change rapidly, so always stay alert and prioritize safety. If you’re new to the area, consider checking local surf maps or webcams to get a better idea of the spot’s layout and current conditions.
