Escondido Beach

Escondido Beach is an S-facing beach break in Malibu, California, United States. It picks up swell from S to SSW and SSW to SW and SW to WSW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 69% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the N: light winds or N breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while S onshores chop it up.
