Wow, you guys weren't kidding.
Drove out in the morning drizzle to check spots from Redondo to El Porto, hoping a spot with some structure like the Topaz St. Jetty or one of the Piers would produce something even slightly interesting. Nothing I saw made me want to get in the water with anything other than a Bodyboard (which I didn't have with me).

Looking south towards Palos Verdes with Lunada Bay just around the point. You could see Catalina later in the day as the weather cleared out.

Looking south at Hermosa Beach Pier...

Liked this one... at least shoulder high when it threw and would knock you down for sure. Just right onto the sand.

Classic LA shot here with a bicyclist along the strand in the foreground, a volleyball game, a beachgoer, a lone surfer, and ships in the bay...

A couple of packs out furthest north of Manhattan Beach Pier and El Porto, but from what I stuck around to watch, no one was getting anything good, and mostly just getting chucked by the shore pound surge.
Great sunsets from our friends house... Until next time friends.
