About

I love this place because it's a place to escape the LA crowds and sometimes you'll get it good here. I've surfed it relatively empty with very good waves all to myself in front of the rocks. Nice rides from here. Sometimes longboarders will paddle out. Mostly kooks though and of little concern.

Atmosphere:
Right outside of LA and just past Zuma. Public beach with minimal crowd mostly. Can get crowded on a good swell in the summer. If you can surf you'll get plenty of waves as it's spread out here. Even if you can't surf you'll get waves here.

Additional Info:
Semi consistent wave that gets really fun sometimes. Needs the right swell and sand bar. Breaks left and right off the rock point with some beach break peaks off to the right. Less crowded in front of rocks but be careful not to take off into them.
