As surfers, we absolutely love fall here in Southern California and especially along the beaches of Los Angeles County. This is the time of year that we live for. Big swells from the south that are generated by either Southern Pacific storms or hurricanes off of Baja produce the biggest and best waves of the year in this area. Plus, the weather is ideal for surfing. It’s still warm in the water and on land and we have the potential for the hot Santa Ana winds that blow offshore and tweak the waves to world-class perfection. Firefighters don’t like these winds, but surfers love ‘em. The snot nosed brats are all back in school and most summer vacationers have all gone home so there are plenty of waves to go around for the dedicated core that feed on this stuff.
This is when Malibu is at its best. It’s one of the premier point breaks in the world and the jewel of LA County. The whole area, from the county line at the north end to the foot of Sunset Blvd., is the surf zone this time of year. Even as far south as Manhattan Beach will pick up the south swell. Almost all the spots are visible and open to the public.
Today is a good time to take a beach day, jump in the cool Pacific and watch some excellent surfing.
