Porto has long been a popular surfing destination for Southern California locals and travelers alike. Variable conditions are a hallmark of this beach break, with waves breaking to the left or right as winds and currents affect swells. One of the unique features of the

Porto break is that just offshore, a deepwater canyon and inshore sandbars both combine to help to push swells higher than in neighboring breaks. Therefore

Porto tends to be consistent, even when other beaches along California’s coast are reporting flat conditions. It is not uncommon to find overhead waves here, which helps cement the break as one of the surfing community’s favorite spots.California surfers and people all over the world have come to know Swell Magnet for our live, streaming El Porto surf cam and detailed, up-to-the-minute surf reports.
