About

When it's good it is a fast, short ride then is mosly walled out. It is the main Palos Verdes surf spot.

Additional Info:
This is a fun reef.It's usually crowded. Excellent with a NW swell at low tide. Also when it is small to medium you gotta use a long board. Rat is usually powerless. this spot is good on both sides of the jetti but northside is boxed in with rocks on the south side and shore so you have to paddle around to get to it, the waves jack up here and get bigger and more hollow however its more dangerous, on many occasion the south side of jetti is bigger then venice pier and more hollow and is generaly a right, the other side is usually a left, but the outside right sets will take you from there to the other side all the way into shore sometimes. its a spot usually crowded during the summer but heavily localized during winter swells, the history of venice being locals only.
