    County Line

    Intermediate

    County Line, on the border of LA and Ventura counties, features a right-hand cobblestone reef break at the northern end and 500 yards of beach break to the south. Conditions range from peaky lefts and rights to heavy closeouts. On larger swells, currents and rips become strong and the point turns into an advanced wave.

    Malibu Third Point

    Advanced

    Third Point is the outermost and most powerful section of Malibu.

    Point Dume

    Intermediate

    Point Dume is a scenic reef break at the southern end of Zuma Beach.

    Leo Carrillo State Beach

    Beginner friendly

    Leo Carrillo is a family-friendly state beach with a gentle beach break.

    Latigo Point

    Intermediate

    Latigo Point is a right-hand point break that offers a less crowded alternative.

    Topanga

    Intermediate

    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.

    Malibu Surfrider (First Point)

    Intermediate

    Zuma Beach

    Beginner friendly

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.

    Malibu Second Point

    Intermediate

    Second Point is the middle section of the famous Malibu point break system.
