More about Malibu First Point
First Point is the most beginner-friendly of Malibu's surfing areas, offering long, evenly-shaped right-hand walls that peel smoothly down its cobblestone point. The wave breaks best on medium tide with southwest swell and northern offshore winds, creating consistent rides ideal for longboarders. Winter and early fall provide the most reliable conditions, with November typically offering the best combination of swell size and wind patterns.
