Conditions not favorable for surfing.
Topanga Point is a right-hand point break over a cobble and sand bottom interspersed with rocks. The wave can be hollow and fast, offering fun rides for all levels, though beginners should be cautious at low tide. It works on most tides and picks up both south and northwest swells. Crowds and passionate locals are the norm.
Follow point-break etiquette, wait your turn, and don't snake. Avoid dropping in on long rides.
Insider tips from local surfers
Sit near the top of the point for the longest rides. Set waves swing wide and offer hollow sections; stay high on the face to make sections.
