Conditions not favorable for surfing.
Zuma Beach is a long, wide stretch of sand with multiple peaks that break over a sandy bottom. The beach offers consistent, forgiving waves that suit beginners on smaller days and transforms into a powerful shorepound during big winter swells. On any given day you'll find peaks breaking left and right, with plenty of room to spread out.
Share waves and be mindful of swimmers. Respect lifeguard directions.
Insider tips from local surfers
Look for sandbars that create clean peaks. For beginners, surf inside reforms; for experienced surfers, chase the outside sets during a combo swell.
