Rat Beach

Rat Beach is a WSW-facing beach break in Palos Verdes Estates, California, United States. It picks up swell from WSW to W and WNW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 71% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the ENE: light winds or ENE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while WSW onshores chop it up.
