Topanga Beach

Topanga Beach is an S-facing point break in 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 67% 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.
