About this breakjetty · sand · faces WSW
Big-wave left at the King Harbor breakwall. Waves jack up after rebounding off the breakwall, and the biggest sets close out (Easy Reader). It only breaks on large winter swells and is heavy and dangerous next to the rocks. The Redondo Submarine Canyon lies just offshore.
