Malibu Surfrider

Malibu Surfrider is an S-facing point break in Los Angeles & Malibu, California, United States. It picks up swell from SSE and S to SSW and SW to W, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 66% 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.
