Surf Pipe

Shitpipe - Los Angeles, California Shitpipe features a powerful reef break with hollow, ledgey waves that break both right and left. The bottom consists of sharp rocks and coral, making it essential to be cautious. This spot is best surfed at high tide, particularly during large winter swells from the Northwest. Located just north of El Porto and Hammerlands, Shitpipe is easily accessible with a large parking lot above the break. The wave peels off an old sewer pipe caisson, creating a unique surfing experience. While it can get crowded, especially on weekends, the local vibe can be aggressive, so it's recommended for experienced surfers. The wave is known for its square barrels, reminiscent of the Box in Australia. Be mindful of localism and the dangers posed by barnacles on the pipe. If conditions align, Shitpipe offers a thrilling session for those willing to navigate its challenges.
