About Malibu
Malibu is a coastal city in Los Angeles County, California, and its best-known surf spot is widely considered to be Surfrider Beach, beside Malibu Pier. Waves wrap around a point formed by stones and sand from Malibu Creek and run along it towards the pier, breaking to the right as a surfer rides them towards the shore. The best-known section is First Point, where the waves are often described as long and even, which many consider well suited to longboards. Malibu is often credited with playing a large part in the growth of surf culture in California in the 1950s and 1960s, and Surfrider Beach was the first place to be named a World Surfing Reserve. The best waves typically come in summer and early autumn, when swells most often arrive from the south. Surfrider Beach is part of Malibu Lagoon State Beach, and the historic Adamson House stands beside it.
