Zuma Beach sits at the northern end of Malibu and stretches nearly two miles. Expect clear waters, significant waves and a local crowd.

LA's crown jewel. The iconic Surfrider Beach is practically where L.A. surfing culture was born. Surfers are always seeking the best surf spots around the world, and often end up in Malibu. This coastal city has a long surfing history, and there are spots throughout Malibu that are world renowned for surfing.

You’ll typically find surfers in the water in Malibu about 150 days out the year, making it a consistent surf spot. However, the best breaks takes place from late summer to early fall when Pacific Ocean storms bring in large swells.

The swells at Topanga Beach are a little easier to drop into and perfect for the beginner’s longboard. The only catch: conditions are so ideal you might have to compete with plenty of good surfers for waves.
