It's not exactly high-wind sailing, but you can get in some short boarding,
mostly in the 5.5-6.5 range. Near Santa Monica, two spots worth checking out
would be Cabrillo Beach, south of SM, and Leo Carillo, north of SM. Two shops
in the area to contact for details would be:
Captain Kirk's Windsurfin
525 N. Harbor Blvd.
San Pedro, CA 90731
310-833-3397
Wind N' Wave
11910 West Pico Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90064
310-478-7537

Polluted, yes, "most in the world", I don't think so. Cabrillo and Leo Carillo
aren't in the Santa Monica bay anyway.
Good luck!
