Burn Out/Torrance Beach/RAT Beach is located in Torrance, California. It's a laid-back spot known for its beachbreak peaks, mainly found at the south end of Torrance County Beach. The area sees a fair number of surfers, especially during the summer months, making it a regular hangout for those looking to catch some waves.

The surf here is mostly rights, but you can catch some lefts as well. The beach is good with peaky W-NW swells and works well on incoming tides. When the swells are around 1 ft. (about 0.3 meters), it can handle both low and mid tides or even high, but it starts to get hollow with an outgoing tide. Just be cautious of the rip currents, as they can get pretty strong. RAT Beach can provide some fun surf, especially when the beachbreak to the north becomes too big.

Access to the spot is pretty straightforward through Torrance County Beach, right off Paseo de la Playa. For a chill surf session, the best winds are from the east, and the optimal swell direction is from the west. Overall, this spot offers a consistent surf experience, with conditions that keep both new and experienced surfers coming back.
